That link has a wealth of information on industrial switching RRs in the Chicago area. The RR in Elk Grove Village (Operation #3) sure looks like it could have been the precursor to the Los Angeles Junction Ry. The LAJ was started as the Central Manufacturing District by Chicago businessmen who had built the Central Manufacturing District of Chicago. More research to do!
Googling "Central Manufacturing District of Chicago" gives plenty of links to pursue & their RR was known as the Chicago Junction Railway.
Here's another loco you can to do Reinhard. It's a GP38-2 that's "heavily ballasted". Wondering if the Belt Ry of Chicago came from CMD of Chicago?
