A favorite place of Mine that I had enjoyed taking numerous railfan photographs during the 1980's in Chicago, was a place on Chicago's southwest side known as Hayford Junction.
Here We see an eastbound Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe transfer train approaching the Grand Trunk Western crosstracks at the junction. The building to the right, is a single story train traffic control center refered to as "The Tower". It was eventually phased out and demolished at some point around 1993. The Santa Fe train is traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks.
Hayford Junction is located at West 75th Street and South Central Park Avenue, in Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood.
