EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1942, where we meet L. Logan, a dedicated boilermaker working for the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company. The image captures Logan in his element at the Proviso yard's roundhouse in Melrose Park, Illinois. Jack Delano skillfully frames this portrait of an American railway worker amidst his daily grind. Logan's face tells a story of hard work and determination as he gazes directly into the camera lens with a sense of pride. His weathered hands bear witness to countless hours spent laboring over hot boilers, ensuring that trains run smoothly along their tracks. The gritty atmosphere is palpable; dirt smudges on Logan's face and clothes serve as reminders of the demanding nature of his job. Yet behind those glasses lies resilience and expertise honed through years of experience. Delano's masterful composition draws attention to both Logan's individuality and his role within a larger industrial landscape. This photograph serves as a testament not only to one man's contribution but also to the collective efforts made by countless workers who kept America moving during wartime. As we admire this mid-century snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our railways running smoothly – connecting communities, industries, and dreams across America.
