I never realized that BNSF had a small yard in Rochelle until is studied these Steam Plant Road photos. (I wonder what/where the steam plant was.) Not only are there quite a few rail served industries here, UP has built a branch and yard to serve the area as well. In fact, UP seems to have exclusive access to some of the industries south of the tollroad.
Michael Wayne Sitter posted two photos with the comment: "Westbound auto racks with a Dash-944CW and an ES44C4 crossing Steam Plant Road at Rochelle, IL in September 2016. -Michael W. Sitter."
