Reviews"By bringing together in a single, informative volume an excellent selection of Delano's black-and-white and color photographs, Reevy has performed an unquestionably valuable service." --Railroad History, "Jack Delano had a successful career as a photographer and was widely recognized for his evocative scenes of railway workers and their equipment. In this book, Reevy has presented a topical summary for a comprehensive and well-designed coverage of this worthy subject." -J. Parker Lamb,, author of Railroads of Meridian, "Tony Reevy has given us an intimate, well-researched masterwork about Jack Delano's rail-related photography created during his early 1940s tenure with the FSA/OWI. Delano's photography is foregrounded and given the fulsome aesthetic and historical consideration it deserves. Coupled with Reevy's thoughtful essays, a deeper contextual appreciation of Delano's imagery--and its heretofore underrated position within the pantheon of American photography--emerges." --Jeff Brouws, Author, photo-historian, Director for Center for Railroad Photography and Art, "Both scholarly and beautiful, author Reevy's work presents information on Delano the man, background on the agencies that employed him, and more than 170 photos. . . A marvelous study of a craftsman and his important work."-- Classic Trains "By bringing together in a single, informative volume an excellent selection of Delano's black-and-white and color photographs, Reevy has performed an unquestionably valuable service."-- Railroad History "Tony Reevy and Pablo Delano have assembled a wonderful tribute to one of America's great photographers of the 1930s and 40s, highlighting not only his images, but also his life."-- Michigan Railfan "The word 'respect' comes up often in the discussion of Delano and his work and it shows in the photographs he was able to produce of railroaders who as a group tended to be camera-shy."-- The Lexington Quarterly "Jack Delano captured the face of American railroading in a series of stunning photographs. His images, especially his photographs of railroad workers, are a vibrant and telling portrait of industrial life during one of the most important periods in American history."-- Gaugan "Tony Reevy has given us an intimate, well-researched masterwork about Jack Delano's rail-related photography created during his early 1940s tenure with the FSA/OWI.

Parker Lamb,, author of Railroads of Meridian "Kudos to Tony Reevy for skillfully capturing photographer Jack Delano's love affair with America's railroads during the mid-20th century. I am especially taken by Delano's evocative portraits of the men and women of the Santa Fe, who together with countless other railroaders, contributed mightily to America's efforts during World War II."--Rob Krebs, retired Chairman & CEO, ATST and BNSF, "Jack Delano captured the face of American railroading in a series of stunning photographs.
