The UP has some info on their website regarding the new ramp. <br />http://www.uprr.com/notes/corpcomm/020529_rochelle.shtml <br /> <br />Here's one to ponder. Its 58 miles from GLO-III to Elmhurst (Global II). If you are a Chicago area shipper/consignee, do you want to pick up the tab to have your load drayed from Rochelle to the Chicago area? @ approx $1.20/mile? Will the UP reduce their haulage rate on trains into GLO-III by an off-setting $70? Doubtful. Its a new ramp, they'll need premium prices + longer drays. I suspect you'll see some empty parking spots at GLO-III for a long while.
