Streator Station
Streator Station was a train station located in Streator, Illinois, United States. It was served by numerous Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway(AT&SF) passenger trains during its heyday. Amtrak (the National Railroad Passenger Corporation) served the station until 1996 with the ''Southwest Chief'' between Chicago and Los Angeles daily. When the Burlington Northern and the AT&SF railways merged, BNSF built a connecting track between the two main lines east of Cameron, Illinois, (known as the Cameron Connector).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Galesburg to Streator )〕 This allowed passenger trains to change from the former Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) main line to the Southern Transcon freely. This along with the amendment of a stretch of track that was essential for getting to Chicago Union Station〔 forced Amtrak to reroute the ''Southwest Chief'' to bypass Cillicothe and Streator.
In 2013, the station received upgrades by BNSF Railway including "a new roof, brickwork, tuck-pointing, and new windows."
==World War II Canteen Monument==
Streator Station is home to a monument that honors the volunteers who served millions of soldiers and sailors passing by on troop trains. The canteen was open from November 26, 1943 to May 29, 1946 and served an estimated 1.5 million soldiers and sailors. The troops would be fed by volunteers boarding the train while it was serviced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Streator Canteen )〕 The statue was unveiled on November 11, 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coffee Pot Lady Unveiled in Illinois )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWII Canteen Monument )〕
