From Geoff's module thread, this is Berry Plastics, on an industrial park in the Chicago suburb of Alsip IL.
Berry's website - they make plastic food packaging, amongst other items: http://www.berryplastics.com/catalog/ - From the looks they receive plastic pellets in covered hoppers, but their outbound shipments look to be by road - a very simple industry on the face of it. The Bing overheads show three full tracks of covered hoppers, plus several more 'off-spot' left on the lead to another industry.

From ground level you can see the yellow bits are supports for safety cables for folk working on top of the hoppers.
