I live near Peoria.  Last week I went through Farmington where the crossing at 
IL Rt 116 was removed along with about a mile of track last year and no work 
has been done to restore the line.  I talked with a BNSF track worker who said 
that the coal loads for Ameren-Cilco DuckCreek will come up through Dunfermline 
and that track is now being repaired.  Also, all the line from Yates City 
through Canton is in very poor condition for coal trains and would be very 
expensive to rebuild while the line through Dunfermline was used for coal drags 
up to about four years ago.  Ed Sanders         --- In CBQ@yahoogroups.com,
