Decatur Junction Railway History

  • AAR Reporting Marks - DT and Pioneer Rail Corp's PREX
  • Operates in Central Illinois.

  • The railroad's principal commodities are grain, fertilizer and plastics.
  • In January 2017, short-line operator OmniTrax, via subsidiary Decatur Central Railroad, took over operations of 16 miles (26 km) of track north of Decatur to Cisco that had previously been part of the Decatur Junction.
