Thanks for your help.

Glenn Yard is south on the Stevenson Expressway (also known as I55).  It is between Central and Harlem Avenues on the south side of the expressway.  If you look at one of the web based aerial views such as Google or Terra Server, it will be easy to spot. 

If you are in Chicago and want to go take a look, drive down the Stevenson and exit at Central.  Go south.  Look west and you will see the tracks and the yard.  Go down to 51st street, turn right and proceed west about 1/2 mile and turn north on one of the streets.  You will come to the yard.  Dont trespass!
