I took this photo during an October 1983 visit to the soon to be closed GTW Elsdon Yard. Elsdon Yard was actually in it's final week of operation when I took this photo. Seen here are EMD roadswitcher locomotives from the Grand Trunk Western and the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroads. They are idling on the ready tracks, west of the 1914 built roundhouse at West 49th Street and South Kedzie Avenue in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood.
The following week, this site was abandoned and forelorn.
