...I too have seen a train on that siding located on the southwest side of the diamond. But it's been several years now. And no other trains were present when I witnessed the one on that access track.
Yes, two across the diamond is all we better see at one time....And they better be going parallel to each other.

Ummmm.....3?
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but can't only 2 be on the diamond at a time? (I'm assuming this is a 2 track diamond...)
Strictly speaking, that's correct, but I'm sure the reference was to two on the UP and one coming out of the plant to the south-west (Dole? DelMonte?) and hitting the BNSF mainline. I haven't seen that, but I have seen one on the UP and one coming from the plant at the same time, this being before I was aware of the plant track. That was a little strange until I figured it out.
....Just witnessed 2 trains across the diamond {on UP}, at Rochelle. I'm sure that's not unique, but believe it's a first for me.
