Decatur Subdivision

The Decatur Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by the Decatur & Eastern Illinois Railroad (DREI), a division of Watco Companies, and formerly CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of Indiana and Illinois. The line runs from Hillsdale, Indiana, west to Decatur, Illinois,[1] along a former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line. The east end of the line is near a junction with the CE&D Subdivision; at Chrisman, Illinois, it intersected the Danville Secondary Subdivision.[2] [3]

History

The Decatur Subdivision was built in the 1890s as part of the Indianapolis, Indiana, to Decatur, Illinois, Indiana, Decatur and Western Railroad. Through leases and mergers, it became part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and CSX. On September 9, 2018 Watco Companies began operations of the line via subsidiary DREI following CSX's spinoffs of non-core routes in Illinois and Indiana.[4]
