It was a gray Sunday in Chicago. Someone with a drivers license was driving me around Chicago's south suburbs to various rail yards taking roster shots of the locos hanging around.
Here is a sample of what was present at Missouri Pacific's Yard Center in Dolton, Illinois - July 24, 1977.

Nathan Mackey posted Wandering around the Yard Center facility. Oct. '98 Dennis DeBruler I had a brain burp as to where Yard Center was. I knew it was on UP's "south spoke." I see the engine servicing facilities are west of the intermodal yard. https://www.google.com/.../@41.6259042,-87.../data=!3m1!1e3 |

You can see a water tower in the background of the above photo. But this photo shows that they had two of them. And they were exceptionally tall.
