    Anyone in the Decatur area will start to notice DP powered coal trains on a pretty regular basis now. NS has made a commitment to Illinois coal and are running trains to the ADM facility in Decatur with DP power. So far it has been 2 on the front and 2 on the rear. We will be also running DP powered trains out of the Litchfield area via the BNSF to Mt Olive Il. Forcasting between 50-60 trains a month. There will be coal trains running between Litchfield and St. Louis still and those are expected to pick up also. Looks like coal is going to be around for awhile finally.
