“Viewed from the infamous Roosevelt Road overpass, Grand Trunk Western's eastbound Maple Leaf departs Dearborn Street Station for Toronto. Meanwhile, Santa Fe's westbound San Francisco Chief awaits its time to depart, and one of Santa Fe's steam generator-equipped RS1's stands aside with an inbound consist.”

“Grand Trunk Western's eastbound Maple Leaf to Toronto departs Dearborn Street Station behind two GP9 (4922...) At this time there were still plenty of trains using Dearborn Street Station, and GTW had three arrivals and departures each day. Geeps were almost always the power, although some CNR F-units made it in from Toronto - I think a couple years later than this shot. The express shed in the background is still looking busy with an Erie Lackawanna baggage car (and what appears to be a Nickel Plate one attached to it); one of Santa Fe's resident RS1's is shuffling around back there as well.”

Caption: “Richard Jensen, a bread salesman from Wisconsin, acquired his first steam locomotive, GTW 5629, in 1959 and refurbished it for use in steam fan trips based out of Chicago in the 1960s. Jensen would acquire several other steam locomotives including CB&Q 5632 and 4963 for other excursions. After several cancelled trips in the early 1970s, GTW 5629 sat at the Rock Island's Burr Oak Yard, which became owned by Metra after the Rock's demise. After several failed attempts to move the locomotive off of their property, Metra ended up scrapping the unit on site as seen in this photo.”
