Eastbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer train departing Clearing Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. January 1987.

Eastbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer train departing Clearing Yard. Chicago Illinois. January 1987.

I took this photo on a Saturday afternoon way back in January of 1987, after a heavy all morning lake effect snowstorm had fallen on the city of Chicago.

I spent part of the afternoon taking railfan photos in a surreal winter wonderland setting at Hayford Junction in Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood. With clearance granted from the railroad dispatcher, an eastbound Belt Railway of Chicago heavy transfer train departs Clearing Yard with fresh snow on the ground.
