Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 17th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.

Chicago and North Western Line - 1943
Here is a nice group of photos taken in 1943. No idea of the location though...enjoy...George Dutka
The X on the boxcar door suggests they are taken by Jack Delano for the US Office of War Information, I'm pretty sure at Clearing Yard. Delano was a very talented guy, who gave up photography for music composing.

ReplyDeleteWow that is very interesting...thanks for the update John...George
ReplyDeleteYeah, that looks like Delano. I think he was based out of Chicago, most of the pics I've seen were taken there.
ReplyDeleteWhen I said Clearing, I meant Proviso.
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos! Proviso, where we used to ride our bikes
ReplyDeleteDelano was probably better known for his pioneering use of colour.
