I photographed this "Rare" backside view, of the GTW Railroad "Elsdon Roundhouse" located at West 49th Street and South Kedzie Avenue on Chicago's southwest side. This scene was actually photographed during the last week of operation for the GTW Elsdon yard and roundhouse. I had heard through the various "Rumors" circulating amongst My fellow railfans at the time, that the GTW was actually contemplating closing the old Elsdon facilities soon. I no sooner went on location with My trusty 35mm Camera, just to find out that this was the Elsdon farewell week.

I wish that roundhouse was still there.
