This is a photograph of a place that used to bring Me many "Happy Memories" as a lineside railfan, or a "Gricer" as My friend Iain would say at My link page "Railway Roundabout.Com."Is that correct Iain? Absolutely!
Many of My happy experiences train spotting occured here at this junction during the 1980's. This was a busy junction where several railroads would enter and depart the Belt Railway of Chicago's "Clearing Yard" just west of here in the distance. The cross track in the foreground belonged to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad. The single story dispatchers control office with the green awnings was Demolished sometime during the early 1990's. In the background a Santa Fe transfer freight train has just recieved Clearance, and will proceed towards Me.
