In 2019, Watco's Decatur & Eastern Illinois Railroad filed in intent to acquire EIRC. According to the Senior Counsel for ADM (company), a majority shareholder of NRG Inc. (which owned EIRC), EIRC ceased rail switching and terminal operations December 31, 2019, and ceased being a covered employer under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts on March 1, 2020.
