A westbound BNSF Railway transfer train passing through Hayford Junction. Chicago Illinois. Friday, November 21st, 2014.

 
I was passing through the southside of Chicago today, and decided
to stop and visit one of my old railfan haunts I used to go to way
back in the 1980's. I set up tyrackside at Hayford junction, located
at West 75th Street and South Central Park Avenue, in Chicago's
Ashburn neighborhood.
 
A slow moving BNSF Railway transfer freight train traveling -
over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks, is viewed passing -
through the former GTW crosstracks, and entering the Belt Railway
of Chicago's Clearing Yard facility in Bedford Park Illinois near
Chicago's Midway International Airport on a sunny but cold day.
 
Thanks.
Eddie K.
