Illinois

Remote video monitoring across Illinois

Illinois sits at the center of the nation's rail network: about 25 percent of US freight trains and half of its intermodal trains pass through the Chicago area, and the region moved more intermodal containers in 2016 than any other US metro, according to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. Southwest of the city, the CenterPoint Intermodal Center in Elwood and Joliet, built on the former Joliet Army Ammunition Plant, is the largest inland port in North America, built around a 785-acre Union Pacific rail yard and a 770-acre BNSF rail yard. That freight draws thieves: Verisk CargoNet ranked Illinois third among US states for cargo theft in 2025, behind California and Texas, and the National Insurance Crime Bureau counted 28,327 vehicles stolen across Illinois that year, also third-highest in the country.
