I took this photograph one very lovely springtime evening way back in May of 1989. It is ten years before the acquisition of the GTW by the parent company Canadian National through merger in 1999, and already C N locomotives have become regular sights on some GTW road freight trains here in Chicago. This train was photographed facing north on adjacent South Central Park Avenue near West 75th Street, in Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood. This freight train is photographed passing through Hayford Junction, and is on approach to the West 79th Street railroad crossing, during the last fading rays of daylight.
