Vanishing point: Framed in darkness, Jack Delano’s photograph shows the view out the back of a caboose on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad between Belen and Gallup, New Mexico. Delano rode the rails in the state in March 1943 to document the railroad’s operations in support of the war effort. The FSA/OWI records note that “This image (was) in a jacket marked ‘Killed.’"

Jack Delano visited Mauch Chunk, in northeastern Pennsylvania, in August 1940, producing more than 120 negatives. The photograph shows one of the main streets in the town, captured in beautiful light with a large selection of parked vehicles. A building on the right side is labeled F.O.E,, for Fraternal Order of Eagles. The coal-mining and railroad town of Mauch Chunk was renamed Jim Thorpe in 1954 in honor of the native American athlete who was interred there the same year.

Watchers watching the watcher: Spectators at a barrel rolling contest keep a watchful eye on photographer Jack Delano as he photographs them in Presque Isle, Maine, in October 1940. A blonde schoolgirl sits on a railing above Daigle’s Barber Shop. She stares at Delano, along with a man and woman behind her, both hatted. A small dog also looks at Delano from his spot next to the barber shop sign.

Hammer time: Jack Delano photographed construction work at the Fort Loudoun Dam in Tennessee in August 1942. In this image, hard-hatted workers wield jackhammers on a steep slope, raising dust as they break up the rocks. The Tennessee Valley Authority, a New Deal agency, built hydroelectric projects to control flooding and bring electric power and economic development to the region. Constructed on the Tennessee River, the Fort Loudoun project went online in 1943.

Pinball wizard: At the Serbian Club in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, in January 1941, Jack Delano made this black-and-white photograph of a steelworker playing a pinball game called O’Boy as three of his buddies watched. Coats and hats are hanging on the wall behind the machine; the player has kept his hat on. The Chicago Coin Machine Co. manufactured about 1,700 of the O’Boy bowling-themed pinball machines.
