The old ATSF mainline was and is a thing of glory, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the Chicago-to-Cameron (w. of Galesburg) stretch is now pure CB&W in heritage. That's what is now called the "Southern Transcon." The Streator-Chillicothe-Galesburg stretch that used to be mainline is now just the Chilli sub. Amtrak follows the Sou. Transcon too, which is why trains stop at Mendota and not Streator.
