Many railroads that serve or had served Chicago many years ago, helped to make the windy city the place it is for railfans like Myself and a few others out there to enjoy.
I found this photograph at my link page Yesteryear Depot.Com, which is located to the right of your computer screen at www.yesteryeardepot.com
Growing up on the near southwest side of Chicago during the 1960's and 70's myself, I can fondly recall seeing the EMD diesel switcher locomotives from the B & O C T working on the southside of the city.
There is no photographers name mentioned for any credit in this photograph. The blue and yellow B & O C T EMD SW 9 yard switcher # 9604, is viewed idling somewhere in Chicago, coupled to a unit painted in the 1972 succesor railroad colors and markings of the Chessie System, which has since became today's CSX Transportation Company.
