DECATUR, Ill. — Decatur was not within the narrow 13-state path of totality for the solar eclipse today (April 8, 2024) but — as shown above, in an image taken just before totality — the community did not miss by much, experiencing a 97.6% partial eclipse. The effect of the eclipse is visible as a Norfolk Southern yard job works at Brush on theeEast side of the Decatur yards just after the maximum was achieved at 2:03 p.m.
