Dave,
That brings to mind three questions,
1)so if WLS, is bringing down bills,that was 86 setting out on south wye ?
2)was it the change to 602/603 that made the job an overnight Streator turn or was that post BN ?
3) have you heard the string story at Yagan put that occurred on one turn every night ?

while i was working congress park in 68-69 granville and caldwell were on one turn and shoener was rear brakeman often and would bring waybills down to the office. midkiff or tripp was on the other turn much of the time with red krull. 85/86 became 602/603 late oct 68.
Eric,
Thanks for all the info. But this would not be the IV&N with that power. It's got to be 85 heading to LaSalle where that job laid over. The last entry I can find for the IV&N is Aurora DIV. ETT #48 of Oct 1957. Job left Streator 7:00AM for Zearing and return. At best they would have had a NW or a GP7.
From Further research in "The Burlington Waycars", near the back are several listings of assigned waycars on the Aurora Div. in 1968-'69. No mention of an IV&N wayfreight.
Interestingly "Granny" is shown as Condr. on one of the 85/86 turns in '68.

Leo,
One other thing: Note the switch in front of the Uboat is lined to diverging since the red board is visible on the switch stand. I am speculating here, but this may be the IV&N heading out on the wye switch which would be the diverging route of off the main at this point.
