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

I took this photograph, way back in early March of 1989.

Seen here idling between runs along the south side of the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard facility in Bedford Park Illinois, is an old 1950's era EMD yard switcher locomotive # 521.

This photograph was taken just immediately west of South Cicero Aveue at approximately West 70th Street.

The area where the pick up trucks are parked to the left of the photograph, today is the parking lot and site of a Walmart store.
