The 20 miles of double track between Bement and Decatur in central Illinois was the busiest section of track on the former Wabash. At Bement the line from Chicago joined the line from Detroit. Just west of Decatur the lines to St. Louis and Kansas City went their separate ways. Today this funnel has twice the number of freight trains that it had during Wabash days and is a part of NS’s busy automotive artery from Detroit to St. Louis and Kansas City. This video shows over 24 hours of action on Norfolk Southern’s Lafayette district between Bement and Decatur in May of 2003. 98 minutes.
