(see below for a satellite image link)

(Update: This railyard was rebuilt in 2014 to be a modern intermodal yard.)

The New York Central's Englewood roundhouse on July 9, 1952.
On the left is class S1b 4-8-4 Niagara-type #6020.
On the right is class L2c 4-8-2 Mohawk-type #2856.
In the center are EMD E8A's #4049 and #4048, coming out for the run to New York City with the Twentieth Century Limited.

As we have come to expect, it is now an intermodal yard. In this case, it would be Norfolk Southern.

Wayne D Drummond This one looks photo shopped. Yours Dennis is probably the RL one.
Warren Banfield Wayne's post may be from the source, say a Kodachrome slide, whereas the one from Dennis could be lithography from a book.
David Crandell what year was the picture from, 1949 or 1957 ?
Warren Banfield Yes I'd say this pic is 1949, with 4007 still in its 1945 paint scheme and 4034 showing off its newly painted silver trucks.

Passenger power line-up at Englewood, Ill, August 1949. Alco PA No. 4202 is flanked by EMD E7’s 4034 and 4007. Although EMD power is of the same model, variations, especially number boards, can be noted as well as Central’s change in paint scheme. (Photo by Ed Novak).
[So far, I think this is the best exposure of the photo.]

[The NYC yard was northeast of the NYC mainline, which was northeast of Pennsy's four-track mainline. The cars on the right are probably in the NYC yard.]

Bob Lalich I'm fairly certain the coal dock seen in the photo was located just west of the turntable and roundhouse at Englewood.

Dennis DeBruler replied to Bob's comment:
 It looks like the coaling tower serves four tracks. I had assumed that it was over the tracks going to the turntable in Englewood, but I would have thought it would show up better in the 1938 photo. I notice from the boxcars in the yard that the shadows are really long in this photo. I put a red rectangle around where I presume the tower was located.
Bob Lalich That is the spot Dennis DeBruler. Here is a good photo by John Dziobko showing the coal dock and water towers at Englewood.http://www.godfatherrails.com/photos/pv.asp?pid=2774 
[It is well worth the effort to click the link! A closeup of the coaling tower.]
Dennis DeBruler So the coaling tower could service five tracks. And the very close spacing of the bands at the base of the water towers demonstrates how big they are. Looking closer, the tanks are considerably taller than a big locomotive.

On December 26, 1955, we drove down to the Englewood New York Central roundhouse, figuring that we would see at least a few in service steam locomotives. It was another cold and cloudy day, typical for Chicago at that time of the year. When we arrived we were surprised to say the least. Two lines of steam locomotives were sitting there waiting for us to photograph them! New York Central S1a 4-8-4 6000 (the class engine built in 1945) is on the left. On the right a line of Hudsons await the call to service. Photo by Juice Junkie.
