							This 
							year's winner of the Professional Railsplit at the 
							Abraham Lincoln National Railsplitting Festival in 
							Lincoln was Jonathan Norin. Norin, joined by his 
							children, was presented a First Place Certificate by 
							Abraham Lincoln (aka Gary Simpkins) with Darius 
							Knauer looking on in the background.
 This year the splitting event was held in front of 
							the Postville Courthouse on Fifth Street, with 
							plenty of shade for splitters and spectators.
