A couple of miles northwest of the Joliet yard there is a yard that may be a wrecking/recycling yard. It's a dead end yard, but there doesn't seem to be any recycling activity there.
Aerial photos are available on 'Virtual Earth'.
Anyone have any information?

Re: QUestion for the EJ&E crowd
just a scrap yard, walked back in there one day, nothing really in there, just some old freight cars, nothing exciting

Re: QUestion for the EJ&E crowd
I think I know what yard you are talking about. It is a facility that repairs and stores freight cars. There are old EJ&E cabooses and a EJ&E crane stored in that yard. There is also a IC coach still in the old chocolate and orange scheme in there! They own one ex-IMRL switcher to move the cars around.
