Grand Trunk Western freight train leaving Clearing Yard. Hayford Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. January 1987.

I took this winter railfan photograph, in January of 1987 after an all morning snowstorm had fell on Chicago. Seen here in the early afternoon, approximately one hour after the snow had stopped falling, is a Grand Trunk Western freight train enroute to the nearby southbound interchange curve at Hayford Junction. The train had just recieved clearance from the dispatcher, and is departing the Belt Railway of Chicago Clearing Yard.
