Notes:

Title from FSA or OWI agency caption. The black-and-white photos of this scene were originally miscaptioned as "Indiana Harbor" railroad, which lead to the misassociation of this photo with Indiana Harbor.

Photo shows the clearing yard at the Belt Railway Company of Chicago, taken from a structure above the hump tracks. (Source: Flickr Commons project and Bill Gustason, Chicago Area Rail Junctions, Hayford/Clearing Yard, dhke.com/CRJ/index.html, 2008)
