Delano (and others) worked on projects for both the Farm Services Administration and the Office of War Information. Most of Delano's railroad work was done in the early 40's for the latter and includes both color and B&W. The Center for Railroad Photography and Art is working on an exhibit of Jack Delano's work at the Chicago History Museum in 2013. http://www.railphoto-art.org/galleries/delano.html Over 200 of his B&W photos were published in James Valle's book "The Iron Horse at War" in 1977 and several of his color photos appeared in Classic Trains magazine. I do not remember the exact issue. The FSA-OWI collection is indeed an impressive and stirring body of work. Jim Kindraka ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
