Additionally, EVWR constructed an interconnection line approximately in length just east of Mt. Vernon, IL that enabled interchange with the Norfolk Southern (NS). The new line runs north from the EVWR mainline (about east of Liebengood Rd.) and connects with the NS across from and just southwest of the Mt. Vernon, IL Airport (MVN). EVWR also expanded its siding northwest of Opdyke to a total length of approximately from Interstate 64 to near the new connection allowing direct delivery of unit coal trains from the Sugar Camp Mine near Akin, IL to the Gibson Generating Station in Indiana across the Wabash River from Mt. Carmel, IL.
