I took this photo after work one day, in March of 2008. A Belt Railway of Chicago EMD yard switcher locomotive # 538, is seen near the north entrance to Clearing Yard on South Central Avenue. The locomotive is seen at work, spotting cars on the sidings along the industrial bypass branchline, wich runs along the northside of the Clearing Yard property. Notice the lack of a locomotive bell on top of the hood. The Belt Railway of Chicago utilizes "Electronic" locomotive bells, wich sound just a little bit "tinny", but do the job fine just as well.
