Description
This is a view of the Chicago classification yard or the Proviso. In this image you can see at least two switch engines hard at work taking boxcars from one track to another. I liked this piece more and more as I worked on it. I enjoy the plumes of steam thrusting into the air and the sharp contrasts between light and shadow. I can almost hear the chugging of the locomotive and the freight grudgingly allowing their being pushed or pulled on this cold winter's day in the early '40's.
