A Grand Trunk Western Railroad business car at the soon to be closed GTW Elsdon Yard. ( Gone.) Chicago Illinois USA. August 1983.

I took this photo around sunset, way back in August of 1983.

The sun was begining to set on the quaint little steam era GTW Elsdon Yard when I took this photo, as the Grand Trunk Western Railroad was in the process of phasing this old facility on West 51st Street out for good.

This classic railroad business car from the GTW, was photographed just immediately south of West 51st Street, near South St. Louis Avenue near the GTW railroad police headquarters building.

Elsdon Yard was officially closed in October of 1983. Today, this old railroad freight yard property, is gradually being redeveloped today.
