A former GTW locomotive at work in the Canadian National Crawford Yard. Chicago Illinois. Early October 2007., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph, back in early October of 2007. A former Grand Trunk Western EMD roadswitcher acquired through merger by the Canadian National Railroad in 1999, is busy working the former Illinois Central Railroad's Crawford Yard just east of Cicero Illinois.

This modest freight train yard was located at Approximately West 33rd Street at South Kostner Avenue on the near southwest side of Chicago Illinois.

The Canadian National Railroad closed Crawford Yard in 2011 and removed the tracks.
Seen in the background, is the Commonwelath Edison Company Crawford Generating Station.
