Rochester is the third largest town in Minnesota, and a major hub for medical science.
Rochester only had three railroads. The East/west Chicago & Northwestern Mainline, and a north/south Chicago Great Western mainline. There was also a branch line of the C&NW to Zumbrota, but that was removed in the 1930s.
Today, the C&NW is the Dakota Minnesota & Eastern while the CGW is a trail north of Rochester, and a spur that dead-ends south of Rochester.
