Union Pacific is scaling back operations at two facilities in Illinois as part of a plan the company rolled out last year to improve the efficiency in its freight operations.
A train-sorting facility in Rochelle ended intermodal container processing on Monday but will continue to handle train-switching, said Union Pacific spokeswoman Kristen South. Container storage will continue to be available at a facility at 25th and Canal streets in Chicago, but intermodal container pickup will be discontinued.
