After picking up the car at Chicago O'hare Airport (easier than what I was expecting!), I headed out to Aurora and clicked 1 BNSF intermodal. After lunch, the afternoon was spent at Rochelle. About 1 hour was spent at the custom built railroad park there.
I then gave up on this spot and took refuge to a spot close to the diamonds (where the house over the road had free unsecured wifi)
If you don't like GEVO's....don't watch this!
@Crosshead1 Thanks mate! It's an awesome & safe idea. Just need something like it in Australia. Brings tourism numbers up in a small country town!
There is another video coming of where I moved locations to the other side of the track. Got the same thing, a UP Global Stack III train departing while a UP coal train races through in the same direction. Even with a former SP AC4400CW! Keep an eye out for it. :)

What a fabulous location; rail fan heaven. Great luck catching the 'coalie' and the stack train together.
