PC E8A #4292 - Penn Central  Contributor's Pick!       
Nice grouping of power in this unidentified yard. PC #4292 is ex-PRR #5892 built by EMD in April of 1950. Behind it is PC #4209 wihiich is ex-PRR E7A #5849 built by EMD in August of 1947. Finally, next to PC #4292 is PC #4027 which is ex-NYC E7A #4027 built by EMD in February of 1948. Actual date, location and photographer are unknown. With Tom Beckett's help (see comment below), the location appears to be Chicago near the LaSalle Street station.

Alan Fricker General We know it has to be large city, given the background buildings in the distance. Beyond that I can't identify the city. 2/11/2017 9:08:28 AM

Tom Beckett General I'd guess Chicago, at the PRR engine facility. Looks like the Board of Trade in the haze at far right, which stood just north of La Salle St station, which served the NYC, Nickel Plate, and Rock Island. Union Station was to the west a few blocks, hence this must be the Pennsy service tracks. 2/12/2017 2:57:25 AM
