EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captured by Jack Delano in 1942 showcases the bustling activity at the C & NW RRs Proviso yard in Chicago, Illinois during World War II. The image depicts a scene of truck trailers being loaded and unloaded against the backdrop of a freight train and railway yard. The photo offers a glimpse into America's industrial might during this pivotal era, as goods are transported and distributed to support the war effort. The sheer scale of the operation is evident, with rows upon rows of trailers lining up for their turn to be loaded or unloaded. Delano's composition skillfully captures both the exterior landscape and interior details of this busy scene. The clothing worn by workers reflects the fashion trends of that decade, while also serving as a reminder that even amidst wartime challenges, people still took pride in their appearance. As an official photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), Delano documented various aspects of American life during this time period. His photographs not only serve as historical records but also convey a sense of national unity and resilience. Preserved within the Library of Congress' vast collection, this particular print stands as a testament to Delano's artistic vision and his ability to capture significant moments in American history. It serves as an enduring reminder that behind every logistical operation lies countless stories waiting to be told.
