Don't know where they stopped. UPS parks in the SE cargo ramp just about due south of the departure end of 15. I'm thinking a turbine wheel would travel perpendicular to the runway. ORD normally departs on 28R-10L. Either way the UPS ramp is abeam the midpoint of the runway. But ORD often also departs most traffic 10L at CC or 28R at EE unless the aircraft needs all 13,000 feet.
