I stumbled onto some old color photos by Jack Delano from the 1940s that are worth sharing.
Several C&NW steam engines in a Chicago roundhouse…
A blacksmith at his forge…
A guy greasing a loco…

WOW
Wonderful pictures!
Its a shame that color was around, but not so “mass produced”, till what was it, the 50s or even 60s?
They are also very sharp pictures. The blacksmith’s helper looks like he could step right out of the frame as though climbing through a window…
Ah, the days of yore…when steamers roamed the earth, cuffing away in the distance while a soft rain falls on the window pane…

He looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting, doesn’t he?
