Good find, our ebay has been a little quiet on good US locos lately. I wouldnt want to try and paint that BNSF orange livery.
I'd love the room to build the CIRY compound and built the whole large Y into the Brick yard and a long the Cermak Rd. I think domino sugar/foods would make a great model down by the river with its spurs and loop in the overgrown hedges. I'm planning a very small micro with just 2 spurs, a sort of generic Chicago so I can use CIRY, Chicago shortline, BNSF, SOO, CN, NS, Chicago Terminal, and anything else I can find.
However this is still my favourite piece of railroad in Chicago, but wouldn't make an interesting micro, but would suit a large layout like yours <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=215871">http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=215871</a><!-- m -->
