Located near our Rochelle Illinois hotel is the Rochelle Railroad Park. The Rochelle Railroad Park is a place where railroad fans or “Train Spotters” can view and photograph trains.

Before the city of Rochelle built the Railroad Park, visitors would park near the tracks to catch a glimpse of the fast moving trains. City officials were concerned about the safety of the train fans.

Taking the matter into their own hands, the city erected a viewing platform. This allowed to visitors to look down the tracks and stay safe. The platform included a gazebo with picnic tables, a hobo jungle, public restrooms and a small model railroad shop. The site also has a radio so that visitors can listen to radio traffic for the two railroads.

The Rochelle Railroad Park has been an inspiration and model for other parks around the country.
