March 24, 2017 WHERE I'M COMING FROM: 1943. "Freight train operation on the Chicago and North Western Railroad between Chicago and Clinton, Iowa. Somewhere in Illinois between Cortland and Malta (right alongside the Lincoln Highway). Jack Delano, OWI.
Jack sure takes a lot of train photos. He took the picture from the back of the caboose looking down the tracks behind him in some mighty flat country. This area wold also be near the famed Lincoln Highway.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
