I photographed this silent digital video with My old Digital camera that I no longer have. We are looking south toward the Belt Railway of Chicago and Canadian National ex Grand Trunk Western crosstracks at Hayford Junction. A westbound Canadian Pacific Railroad double stack intermodal container train, is seen traveling westbound over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks to nearby Clearing Yard in Bedford Park Illinois near Chicago's Midway Airport. Unusual on this intermodal train and not seen on the rear of freight trains since at least the early 1980's, is this former Soo Line wide vision caboose. The train is passing over the Canadian National Railroad's former grand Trunk Western line, wich has been single tracked through here since 1989.
Hayford Junction is located at West 75th Street and South Central Park Avenue, in Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood near the Ford City Shopping Center and Daley College.
I railfanned often here during the 1980's Myself.
