Album Info:The Pielet Brothers scrap yard was at Joliet Rd and 55th St in McCook, IL right next to the EMD plant. (Often called the LaGrange EMD plant because they used a LaGrange mailing address.) There was also a scrap line next to the EMD plant. Pielet Brothers had an exclusive deal with EMD for scrapping which included agreement to not try and resell engines but to actually scrap them. Date is approximate.
