Yocum Connection is the new name for the wye that connects the CRANDIC's Third Subdivision with the Iowa Interstate's Third Subdivision. Completed in Feb 2000, it allows both eastward and westward movements through the junction. Formerly, the junction had only a single leg, and was known as Crandic Junction.
IAIS handles all trains through the junction, however, having taken over the IC-CR jobs from the CRANDIC during the summer of 2004. The junction is located just west of Homestead, IA, just across from the US-6/US-151 highway junction.
