Amtrak coach yard switcher at work. Chicago Illinois USA. May 2006.
I took this photograph on My way home from work one day in May of 2006. An elderly rebuilt EMD SW Series diesel switcher is seen working the Amtrak coachyard in the city of Chicago.
Just to the east across the river was the Santa Fe Coach Yard from Archer North to the St Charles Airline. The facility was complete with a round house, 300' shop, yard tower, wash rack, balloon track to turn the trains, and commissary for the dining cars. There was a viaduct under the Air Line to reach the Dearborn Street Station.
