Eastbound Norfolk Southern freight train passes track crew at Hayford Junction. January 1987.

An eastbound Norfolk Southern Railroad freight train has just left the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard, and has just passed under the Pulaski Rd bridge. Heavy snow fell on the city of Chicago Illinois on this january day in 1987. The Track Maintenance Dept Crew has its hands full trying to keep the many Track Switches free of snow and ice. The train is approaching Hayford Junction at 76th Street and South St Louis avenue. Hayford Junction is where the Belt Railway of Chicago crosses the Grand Trunk Western Railroad and interchanges trains.
