The NIFA Turn
A GP38-2/GP39-3 duo lead Y-EOL102 (the NIFA turn) south through the backstreets of Aurora as they head back to Eola Yard. NIFA is short for Northern Illinois Fair Association which is where this industrial spur gets its name from. The line once passed through a large fair ground and was a major source of passenger traffic. The only customer left on the 4 mile branch is Berry Plastics.
