Irondale Yard is located on the southeast side of Chicago and was not connected to any Chicago & North Western lines. The yard served large Cargill grain elevators close to Lake Michigan. In C&NW days, a single switch engine was kept at the yard and worked around the clock. The UP had not made any changes yet. The photo was taken 6/12/98 by Ron Christensen
