bikkuri bahn Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Nice color pics of Chicago railway scenes from the 1940's. Just look at the variety of box cars, many subtle differences. https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/10/color-photos-chicagos-rail-yards-1940s/571924/ Edited October 3, 2018 by cteno4 Fixed link embed 8 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Love these! Early Kodachrome and the great eye of the photographer really tell a great story. Thanks jeff Link to comment
maihama eki Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Awesome photos. It's striking how black and dirty everything was - the rail cars, the people, the city buildings... Some of those workers look like coal miners. I am guessing the air pollution in Chicago at that time would shock us today. Link to comment
