So much more to it than what this railfan would have thought

Its quite an operation. I have traveled thru this area twice on my way to and from Rochelle as well as the Racetrack, always a different surprise.

The UPS operations are incredible. Though not really train related, I saw a good show about UPS Worldport, their airport operation hub in Louisville KY, IIRC it was a Nat Geo program and I saw it on either Netflix or Youtube. The size and efficiency of UPS is amazing!
