Southbound Grand Trunk Western freight train departing Elsdon Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. April 1983.

I took this rare night time photo at Elsdon Yard, in April of 1983. A crewmember has just left the Elsdon Depot on foot, and has climbed aboard a slowly moving southbound GTW freight leaving Elsdon Yard on a night time manifest train. The locomotive is lit with the outdoor lights coming from the Elsdon Depot on West 51st Street.
