I heard #240 getting a track warrant into Decatur with the KCS (at least that's how the DS identified it) 4106 while I was driving into work.  I told myself somebody was going to get lucky later in the day.  Looks like it was you! 

Keep up the reports.  Its interesting comparing the times that I see trains such as #272, #260, and 20T versus when they pass thru central Indiana.  Maybe we'll have to start simul-posting.

I don't always get to see the trains physically, but I have my scanner running at work (with headphones) and scribble down notes when I get a chance.  I usually can get an "OS" time when they pass the Illinois & Midland crossing on the east side of Springfield.
