| Rochelle has long been known as the “Hub City” because of its access to superior transportation infrastructure. The Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroads cross in Rochelle, giving shippers access to the only two western transcontinental railroads. The Rochelle Railroad provides dual access to both mainlines and was recently extended 2 miles to better serve future industry. With two interstate highways and four interstate interchanges, Rochelle offers businesses and industries a strategic advantage. |
