Belt Railway of Chicago 6 axel EMD roadswitcher and slug unit working in Clearing Yard. July 2007.

I took this photo one evening after work, in July of 2007. Seen here working in the east end, or the "Chicago side" of the Belt Railway of Chicago Clearing Yard, are a large EMD six axel heavy roadswitcher and a slug unit. I took this photo looking east from the South Cicero Avenue overpass bridge / Illinois U.S Route # 50, at the Chicago City Limits just across Cicero Avenue from the village of Bedford Park Illinois. South Cicero Avenue is actually the municipal border.
This area is located just south of west 67th street near Chicago's Midway Airport.
