I took this photo on the northside of West 51st Street between South St.Louis and Lawndale Avenues, in December of 1984. GTW had officially closed the old steam era Elsdon Yard on Chicago's southwest side, in October of 1983. From October of 1983 to September of 1986, this area by the yard office building and the adjacent curved track, was temporailly used as a small locomotive and caboose terminal. Locomotives were staged here, and fueled by tanker trucks.Monday, February 11, 2008
