Another in my extended backyard brought to my attention by the Illinois Static Railroad Equipment site at (visit link)

That site had an aerial picture that allowed me to pinpoint the location as being along S. Laramie Avenue parallel to the Chicago Sanitary Canal in Stickney. You enter through a gate that is identified as being MSDGC property, but no one objected as I drove through and around to the caboose location. A little bit of urban exploration required.
