I took this photograph on a hot july afternoon in the year of 1989. An early CSX Transportation (Merger Era post 1985) freight train, with diesel locomotives still painted for Seabord System railroad, pass over the Grand Trunk Western railroad cross tracks at Hayford Junction. This railroad junction is located at West 76th Street and South St Louis Avenue on Chicago's southwest side. At this populair rail junction location, the Belt Railway of Chicago crosses the Grand Trunk Western Railroad mainline, and also interchanges freight trains. The ex Seaboard System Railroad diesels and train, atre heading for the Belt Railway of Chicago's "Clearing Yard" located in the southwest suburban village of Bedford Park Illinois USA, near Midway Airport.
