GTW Elsdon Yard Roundhouse at night. May 1983. (Gone.)

We are at the Grand Trunk Western Railroads Elsdon Yard Enginhouse and service tracks, located at 49th Street and Kedzie Avenue on Chicago's Southwest side. This is a good example how railroads operate 24 hours a day -7 days a week. These engines look like they have been put to bed for the night. They are actually between assignments and are getting some much needed
mechanical attention.
