I took this photo looking northwest from the soon to closed rand Trunk Western Railroad Elsdon Yard embankment. This photo turned out to be a bonus on this visit to Elsdon Yard, wich I was informed was in it's final week of operation. A Conrail industrial switching local, is viewed spotting cars on the many factory spur sidings at West 48th Place in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood. In a few years...This Conrail factory switching branchline would be abandoned and the rails pulled up. This are was redeveloped in to part of the right of way for the CTA Orange line to Midway Airport, wich opened for business in 1993.
