Southbound GTW Train leaving Elsdon Yard at 51st street. (Gone.)

A southbound Grand Trunk Western Railroad manifest freight train has got a green signal, and is picking up speed as it leaves Chicago. This photograph of Night time Chicago railroading, was taken on 51st street just east of Lawndale Avenue on Chicago's Southwest side. In a matter of 4 months from this May 1983 scene, The GTW Elsdon Yard would close for good.
