Northbound Grand Trunk Western freight train. Alsip Illinois. August 1990.

We are looking northwest from Kostner Avenue at 119th street in the South Suburban town of Alsip Illinois. A northbound Grand Trunk Western Railroad freight train, is seen speeding along on the Indianna Harbor Belt Railroad mainline. Alsip was a favorite railfan hangout for me during the late 1980's and early 1990's.

This train generating trackage fees for the IHB is a major change in the way they do business and is now 75% of the IHB traffic. BNSF Willow Springs is a big reason for this change.
