Former Seaboard System locomotives running light pass though Hayford Junction. Chicago Illinois. March 1990., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph at Hayford Junction on the southwest side of Chicago, way back in March of 1990.
It is the early years of today's mega CSX Transportation Company, and locomotives from several fallen flag predescor railroads acquired through recent mergers, are seen on a daily basis around the greater Chicagoland area.
Heading westbound (Left), we see a cut of CSX owned and yet to be repainted former Seaboard System General Electric locomotives, crossing the now single track Grand Trunk Western crosstrack at Hayford Junction. These engines are enroute to the nearby Belt Railway of Chicago Clearing Yard facility.
In the forground to the right, is fellow local Chicago area railfan Bob Cliff with his camera.
