Sad news. With all the changes in the West Loop, the writing was on the wall. I lived right by this mill for 7 years. Took my 2 year old son here to watch trucks and trains every day. They'd switch out in the evenings. Generally a dozen cars. And then the trackmobile would shuffle around cars throughout the day. I have lots of good hi def video of these moves. One of these days I'll have to post to youtube.
West Loop and River West used to be a real gem. Close to the Loop, parking was easy, and a nice clear unobstructed view of the downtown skyline. Now everything is pushing westward. There are several plans for tall buildings west of 90/94. And I'm sure when the ADM mill is gone there will be another posh condo with some pretentious name like "The Carroll" or "The Ogden".
