CHICAGO - RAILROAD, 1942. A Glimpse into the Locomotive Workshop
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in American industrial history. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano in 1942, it showcases a worker diligently spreading asbestos on the boiler of a locomotive at the 40th Street shop of the Chicago and North Western Railway in Chicago, Illinois. In this mid-century scene, we witness an essential aspect of railroad maintenance during that era. The worker, dressed in rugged overalls, is focused on his task as he carefully applies asbestos to protect and insulate the locomotive's boiler. This image serves as a reminder of how asbestos was once widely used for its heat-resistant properties before its harmful health effects were fully understood. Delano's composition transports us back to an era when railroads played a vital role in connecting cities across America. The interior setting reveals other workers engaged in their respective duties amidst the hustle and bustle of daily operations. This historical print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon both the craftsmanship involved in maintaining these powerful machines and our evolving understanding of workplace safety standards throughout history.
