I took this photo way back in October of 1983, and cropped it on My computer today for a different perspective altogether.

The Grand Trunk Western Railroad Elsdon Yard facility in Chicago, was in it's last week of operation during this visit. It would close for good by the weekend.

This GTW EMD roadswitcher and caboose, were photographed just north of adjacent West 51st Street, just east of South Lawndale Avenue in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood.
