Don Wetmore: Most of the work transferred out of there around 1988. The business cars were still maintained there until the late 90s when that operation was moved to Council Bluffs.
Brian Hume: Who else spotted the steam engine?

That was a challenge to find. The photo is consistent with this topo map.

That area has changed as much as the South Loop of Chicago.
