The Decatur Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by the Decatur & Eastern Illinois Railroad (DREI), a division of Watco, and formerly CSX in the U.S. states of Indiana and Illinois. The line runs from Hillsdale, Indiana, west to Decatur, Illinois,[1] along a former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad line. The east end of the line is near a junction with the CE&D Subdivision; at Chrisman, Illinois, it intersected the Danville Secondary Subdivision.[2] [3]
