Intermodel Hub<br />
In October 2003, Union Pacific celebrated the grand opening of Global<br />
III, its $181 million intermodal facility in Rochelle, IL, located 30 miles<br />
southwest of the airport. This state-of-the-art facility’s strategic location provides<br />
warehouse and distribution facilities outside of the heavily-congested<br />
Chicago area. Many advantages include access to direct interstate highway<br />
routes with easy access to major east/west and north/south markets. This<br />
843-acre facility allows for the efficient interchange of shipments to and<br />
from rail connections and expedites the operations of over 25 trains and<br />
3,000 containers daily.<br />
Major highways and an abundance of railroad services create an efficient system<br />
for land transportation in the Northwest Chicago region.<br />
Highways and Interstates<br />
RFD is strategically positioned along US Highway 20,<br />
with access to Interstate 39 (north/south route from<br />
Rockford to western suburbs of Chicago) and uncongested<br />

Northwest Tollway between northwest Chicago and<br />
