I took this photo at a location I recall to be around South California Avenue at approximately West 75th Street. This was in the former Chesapeke & Ohio / Pere Marquette Railroad - Rockwell Street Yard in Chicago's Wrightwood neighborhood.
A small local railroad scrap yard used to occupy the former C & O yard, wich has been abandoned for many years at this location. With the Southern Railroad and the Norfolk & Western merging in 1982 to become todays Norfolk Southern Railroad, several of their older 1st and 2nd generation EMD locomotives became surplus.
