EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bustling era of American history - the year is 1943 and we find ourselves standing on the tracks that lead into the freight house at Chicago's Proviso yard. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the raw power and industrial might of one of America's busiest railroads. The composition draws our gaze towards an imposing door at the end of a long row of tracks. Its weathered exterior tells tales of countless shipments passing through its threshold over many years. The photograph perfectly encapsulates both the grandeur and grittiness associated with railroad operations during this period. Jack Delano masterfully captures not only the physical infrastructure but also hints at stories untold within these walls - stories about hardworking men loading and unloading goods from trains that crisscrossed this vast nation. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported to a time when railroads were lifelines for commerce and travel alike. This print serves as a reminder of how essential these iron arteries were in shaping America's growth and development throughout history.
