Streator was an important interchange location between Santa Fe and Conrail (New York Central/Penn Central earlier) with run-through trains operating after a connecting track was constructed by 1968. Conrail power and cabooses could be seen on the Santa Fe, as well as the Santa Fe’s equipment on Conrail, as seen here. In April 1984, on Conrail’s siding just south of Streator, Illinois, an eastbound freight led by GP39-2 No. 3695 passes by westbound train trailed with Santa Fe caboose 999250.
