EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of hard work and dedication during a pivotal time in American history. In 1943, Mrs. Viola Sievers, an employee of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company, is depicted meticulously cleaning a "H" class locomotive with steam in Clinton, Iowa. The image showcases Mrs. Sievers' unwavering commitment to her job as she stands confidently next to the massive locomotive, hose in hand. Her determined gaze reflects both pride and responsibility as she undertakes this laborious task. Photographed by Jack Delano in April 1943, this portrait encapsulates the vital role women played on the home front during World War II. While men were fighting overseas, women like Mrs. Sievers stepped up to fill essential positions traditionally held by men. The stark contrast between Mrs. Sievers' petite frame and the towering locomotive emphasizes her strength and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a testament to all railroad workers who dedicated themselves tirelessly to keep America's transportation system running smoothly during wartime. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print from their collection with great reverence for its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the countless individuals who contributed selflessly behind-the-scenes to support their country's war efforts.
