Elgin, IL

Dronegenuity’s drone photography gives a clear view of the trucking yard operations in Elgin, Illinois, showing how the space is used and how trucks move through the site. The images show a large yard filled with trailers, trucks, and cars, all parked in well-organized rows. Wide views show the full size of the lot, while closer shots focus on entry points, parking areas, and trucks coming and going.

These images also connect to Elgin’s background as a city with a strong history in manufacturing and industry. In the past, Elgin was known for making watches and other goods. Today, because it’s close to I-90 and not far from Chicago, the city has become a center for shipping and distribution. The photos help show how that change is visible in places like this trucking yard.

Dronegenuity’s photos don’t just show the trucks—they show how Elgin’s role in transportation continues to grow, building on its past while supporting modern supply chains.
