When I passed by Sipi Metals today it looked like their spur had been paved over during resurfacing of their parking lot-or maybe I did not look close enough.  Has anyone else gotten a close-up view?  That would be yet another loss for the Chicago Terminal. 

I noticed that the former Rolling Mill Yard between Sipi and the UP/Metra NW Line now is used for parking of new cars, perhaps overflow from one of the car dealers on Elston or on Goose Island.  Maybe Iowa Pacific sold the land which is why a new run-around track was built on the Elston Avenue overpass bridge.
