The only trains run on the line anymore are a few manifest trains and coal
trains to Thomas Hill via the Bevier & Southern line.
Here's a list of the trains regularly run:
H BRCTUL (Manifest - Belt Railway of Chicago to Tulsa)
M GALKCK/KCKGAL (Manifest - Galesburg to Kansas City)
H DILKCK (Manifest - Dilworth, MN to Kansas City)
M AMSGAL (Manifest - Amarillo, TX to Galesburg)
H DYTBRC (Manifest - Dayton, TX to BRC)
C NAMTHH/E THHNAM - (Coal train/empties to/from Thomas Hill)
Not all of these are daily, and there a couple other non-daily manifest trains,
and one local based out of Brookfield, L CHI422.
