I grew up near Rochelle and remember the delight I had as a kid when we took a steam engine west from here on a student excursion. The depot was taken down because it allegedly had asbestos. Thank you for keeping the image. There is a Chicago Northwestern Depot one block away that still exists.

I concur with you, and thank you for at least having pictures. I am modeling the CB&Q and CN&W in Rochelle (HO) in the period 1955 to 1970. I am using modlers license because 1955 is the same the Union Pacific began to route its passenger trains via The Milwaukee Road and it is the same the new Empire Builder and North Coast Limited appeared. So thank you, because I want to model both stations.

I remember hearing this one being torn down. I dont know the circumstances but it seems their should have been a way to save it. I think the BNSF should be ashamed of itself for doing this especially in this day in age when their has been a renaissance of interest in local history, genealogy, etc.
