The Grand Trunk Western RR Elsdon roundhouse at West 49th Street and South Kedzie Avenue. Chicago Illinois USA. October 1983.

I took this rare photo of the GTW Elsdon roundhouse and turnatable, in October of 1983 during the last week of GTW operation before abandonement. This is a rare view facing east looking at the rear of the building and turntable.

The old 1914 built GTW Elsdon roundhouse at West 49th Street and South Kedzie Avenue sat abandoned and forelorn after the closing of Elsdon Yard in October of 1983, until it was finally demolished in the year of 1987.
A retail strip mall occupies the site today.
