Well done. A question? I have heard of this Global 3 mentioned by various posters here. Some have made it sound like something recently built by UP. Is it a new rail-yard for UP along their transcon for intermodal traffic?

[basicbill1]

It is their intermodal facility in Rochelle, IL. Not sure when it was built. But I think less than 10 years ago.

Thanks for watching.

i like the way you think. we have got to railfan in illnois together. i like it that you travel from place to place to film trains in diffrent places on the same day. and you know what to eat. and your cool.

[basicbill1]

I sometimes do put quite a few miles on the car in a day of chasing trains. Take it easy.
