EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jack Delano in 1943, showcases the resilience and dedication of Mrs. Viola Sievers, a blue-collar worker at the roundhouse in Clinton, Iowa during World War II. In this image, Mrs. Sievers is seen giving a giant "H" class locomotive a thorough bath of live steam. As one of the wipers at the Chicago and North Western Railway Company, Mrs. Sievers not only takes pride in her work but also serves as the sole support for her mother while her son-in-law bravely fights for his country in the Army. The photograph beautifully captures an era when women like Mrs. Sievers played crucial roles on America's home front during wartime. With determination etched on her face and sleeves rolled up to tackle any challenge that comes her way, she embodies strength and perseverance. Delano's lens transports us back to an industrial landscape where hardworking individuals like Mrs. Sievers ensured that trains ran smoothly through meticulous maintenance routines. The billowing steam enveloping both Mrs. Sievers and the locomotive adds a sense of drama to this powerful image. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this snapshot encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also represents countless unsung heroes who contributed their skills to keep America moving forward during times of adversity.
