EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Jack Delano in 1942, transports us back to the heart of America during World War II. The image showcases a blue-collar worker diligently spreading an asbestos mixture on the boiler of a locomotive at the C & NW RR's 40th Street locomotive shops in Chicago. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment that symbolizes both resilience and necessity. Asbestos was commonly used during this era for its heat-resistant properties, making it crucial for maintaining the functionality and safety of these powerful steam engines. The dedicated maintenance work taking place behind closed doors highlights the unsung heroes who kept America's transportation system running smoothly amidst wartime challenges. Delano's keen eye captures not only the physical labor but also provides insight into daily life during this transformative period. This still image serves as a testament to American ingenuity and determination as they mobilized their resources to support their troops overseas. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we are reminded of how history is shaped not only by grand events but also by countless individuals working tirelessly behind-the-scenes. Through Delano's lens, we catch a glimpse of one such individual - an anonymous man contributing his skills to keep America moving forward on its tracks towards victory.
