Growing up in the city of Chicago like I did, light engine movements over any given railroad line is a common everyday sight. This was especially true over the Belt Railway of Chicago, as they were often locomotives returning to a local yard or terminal after dropping off a transfer train at Clearing Yard, or were sent there to ease a motive power shortage. Sometimes they were sent there for work at the BRC's own large locomotive shop for repairs.
