At the end of the trip, conductor John Wolfsmith [last seen here] waits at the little railroad station for a suburban train to take him back home to Chicago. A welder who works at the rip tracks is trying to thaw out his frozen air hose." Medium-format negative by Jack Delano.

This reminds of the hat which Poirot often wore. A straw hat with a clear visible section in front. Best of both worlds!

According to Wikipedia, "The village was devastated by the Ohio River flood of 1937. The village's population was moved several miles inland to New Shawneetown."

My guess this photo was taken around the time of the flood, based on the boots two of the men are wearing.

One of these kids is Pete Seeger. His parents were traveling musicians, taking the family with them and living in their car (or in a tent beside the road). From 1921:

The young lad being held by the lady must be Pete, he would've been 2 years old in 1921 ~ interesting photo Blackthorn
