The Belt Railway Company of Chicago
These images were made at Clearing Yard, Bedford Park, Illinois. I seem to recall that the BRC had an affinity for Alco locomotives. The lead unit in the first two images is an C424 built in May of 1966.
While this is a good year and a half after the Bicentennial, we see a transfer caboose as well as a switch engine in red, white, and blue paint. That locomotive in the last image is an EMD MP15DC built in June of 1975.
Four images by Richard Koenig; taken December 27th 1977.
