EDITORS COMMENTS
Freight cars line the South Water Street Illinois Central Railroad terminal in Chicago, Illinois, capturing a snapshot of bustling activity during the year 1943. This print by Jack Delano showcases the essence of American transportation and industry in the mid-20th century. The image reveals a vibrant scene illuminated by the glow of streetlights against the night sky. The freight cars stand as silent giants, waiting to transport goods across the vast United States. Each car represents a connection between cities and towns, carrying essential supplies that fuelled America's growth. Delano's keen eye for detail is evident in this still image from his time with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). His composition captures not only the physicality of these freight wagons but also hints at their historical significance. As we gaze upon this heritage artwork preserved by Library of Congress, we are transported back to an era defined by its distinctive fashion clothing and dress styles. The photograph serves as a visual time capsule, allowing us to witness how people dressed during this pivotal decade. This remarkable piece reminds us of our country's rich railway history and its role in shaping America into what it is today. It encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and appreciation for our nation's progress.
