Repairs in a Steamer Cab

In December of 1942 while visiting the C&NW railroad property near Chicago, Jack Delano went exploring inside their 40th Street shops. He recorded this view of a couple workers doing some repair in the cab of a steam locomotive. Judging from the look of these two men, it appears that this is a senior mechanic (left) observing and guiding an apprentice.
