Decatur Central Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Decatur Central Railroad (reporting mark DCC) is an American railroad that operates in central Illinois. It was founded in August 2016 as a joint venture between short-line railroad operator OmniTrax, which operates the railroad, and grain cooperative Topflight Grain, which owns the right-of-way and trackage.[1] The route, which runs between Cisco and Decatur, was previously operated by the Decatur Junction Railway.[2] The railroad began operation in January 2017.[2]
