EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano showcases a general view of the bustling South Water Street freight depot of the Illinois Central Railroad in Chicago, taken in 1943. The image captures the industrial essence of America during this era, with its vibrant colors and rich details. In the foreground stands a Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) caboose, highlighting one of the railroads that leased terminal facilities from the Illinois Central Railroad. The photograph offers a glimpse into daily life at this busy transportation hub, where men can be seen going about their work amidst an array of freight cars and wagons. The Tribune Tower looms in the background, serving as a reminder of Chicago's iconic skyline. Jack Delano's talent for capturing moments in time is evident here, as he masterfully portrays both the grandeur and intricacies of this significant railway location. This image was part of his documentation for various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), showcasing his dedication to preserving American history through photography. As we admire this still image today, it serves as a testament to our nation's rich railway heritage and reminds us of how transportation played a vital role in shaping America's growth and development during the mid-20th century.
