The Decatur Central Railroad (reporting mark DCC) is an American railroad that operates in central Illinois. It was founded in August 2016 as a joint venture between short-line railroad operator OmniTrax, which operates the railroad, and grain cooperative Topflight Grain, which owns the right-of-way and trackage.[1] The route, which runs between Cisco and Decatur, was previously operated by the Decatur Junction Railway.[2] The railroad began operation in January 2017.[2]

The railroad's primary market is local grain transportation, though it also serves an intermodal facility and can interchange traffic with the Canadian National Railway in Decatur.[2]
