My first thought when I saw this post was Hanson Aggregates. Fortunately, a couple of comments clued me into the Elburn area.

Lucibello Heavy Equipment photography posted three photos with the comment: "Marion 7400 digging at a sand and gravel operation outside of Chicago. The traditional truck and excavator stripping combo is employed to get down to the water table. After that the 7400 digs out the remaining from below the waterline."
Vince Rizzo: Is that at Elburn Sand and Gravel?
