A favorite old railfan haunt of Mine I had discovered while I attended Chicago's Curie High School from 1977 to 1981, was the classic old Grand Trunk Western Elsdon Yard.
I found this photo on the internet at My links page Fallen Flags. Org to the right of Your computer screen.
Seen here idling near the west end of the ready tracks at the Grand Trunk Western locmotive roundhouse and servicing terminal just north of West 51st Street, is Grand Trunk Western EMD SW 1200 yard switcher # 1514 in slightly weatherbeaten early 1970's GTW livery.
The GTW closed Elsdon Yard in October of 1983, and the property is slowly being redeveloped 20 something years after the fact.
