Eastbound Union Pacific RR transfer train. Hayford Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. March 1985.

Seen here approaching the Grand Trunk Western RR crosstracks, after leaving the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard, is an eastbound Union Pacific Railroad transfer train. Notice the 2nd blue diesel locomotive in Missouri Pacific markings. The Union Pacific acquired the Missouri Pacific RR in a 1982 merger. The flatcars behind the locomotives are hauling automobile frames.
