Belt Railway of Chicago EMD switcher # 521 idling at Clearing Yard. Bedford Park Illinois. March 1985.

One thing I actually miss about railfanning during the 1980's era in Chicago, was the fact that there were still quiete a bit of ld 1950's era EMD first generation locomotives working on many of Chicago's railroads.

I photographed Belt Railway of Chicago # 521, an old EMD SW series yard switcher idling on a cold and damp day in early March of 1985 at Clearing Yard, near Chicago's Midway Airport, and the nearby Ford City Shopping Center.
