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 Chillicothe and Streator. In 2013, the station received upgrades by BNSF Railway including "a new roof, brickwork, tuck-pointing, and new windows." (en)
