Union Pacific EMD model GP-15 light roadswitcher climbing up the Belt Railway of Chicago interchange curve. Chicago Illinois. January 2007.

I took this photo one bitterly cold 5 degrees above zero Farenheight winter morning, in January of 2007. The crew of a Union Pacific Railroad industrial switching local, has just dropped off a small cut of freight cars on an industrial spur siding in Chicago's Northwest Industrial Park. The locomotive is now climbing slightly upgrade to the Belt Railway of Chicago embankment running light. This is a late 1970's vintage EMD model GP-15 light roadswitcher.
