Evansville Western Railway, Inc. (“EVWR”), seeks temporary overhead trackage rights over an approximately 11.7-mile line of railroad of Illinois Central Railroad Company (“CN”) between Sugar Camp, Illinois (Milepost 61.9), and Dial, Illinois (Milepost 73.6).

These temporary overhead trackage rights are necessary to permit EVWR to load Unit Coal Trains at Pond Creek Mine near Dial until the Sugar Camp Mine reopens following its closure due to a mine fire and the unrelated, but necessary relocation of long wall mining equipment.

The closure has removed millions of tons from the market, and these temporary trackage rights will permit EVWR to load Unit Coal Trains at Pond Creek Mine near Dial until the Sugar Camp Mine reopens. The temporary trackage rights will expire no later than July 15, 2022.
