A short Grand Trunk Western transfer train at the Hayford Junction interchange. Chicago Illinois USA. June 1984.

Short Grand trunk Western transfer train rounding the westbound interchange curve at Hayford Junction. Chicago Illinois. June 1984.

One of My personal favorites amongst My early railfan photos, is this one I took during a June 1984 visit to Hayford Junction.

A short Grand Trunk Western Railroad transfer freight train, is viewed moving slowly on the westbound interchange lead at Hayford Junction. The train is departing from the north and south GTW mainline, and will soon be heading westbound over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks to the nearby BRC Clearing Yard facility.

The crew of this transfer train will return shortly in approximately 30 minutes with the locomotive running light.
