Union Pacific EMD GP 15 light roadswitcher # 551 at the Chicago Terminal Railroad headquarters and engine terminal. Chicago Illinois. September 2007.

I took this photograph back in early September of 2007.

Union Pacific EMD GP 15 light roadswitcher locomotive # 551, is viewed idling at the Chicago Terminal Railroad office and locomotive terminal, in Chicago's Goose Island industrial district along North Elston Avenue.

Union Pacific utilizes these EMD GP 15 light roadswitchers from the late 1970's era,in switching, way freights and terminal operations.
The UPY markings, indicate that this is a Union Pacific yard switcher locomotive.
