The Effingham Railroad connects with the Canadian National/Illinois Central and CSX (formerly Conrail) Railroads (Burlington Northern has track rights over the CN/IC from Memphis).  The Effingham Railroad Company serves the Effingham Business Park and the Effingham Industrial Park #2 in the southern part of Effingham.  Milano & Grunloh Engineers furnished the preliminary survey, design and construction inspection.  The project was under the supervision of IDOT Department of Railroad.
