When it finally does end, will there be enough non-coal business to support keeping the line in service, even if they have to lower the speed to 10 mph?Why would the speed be lowered? CA-51 has been going to Tuckahoe on a fairly regular basis and they need every bit of that 25mph. Coal trains rarely run now so it would only be the abandonment past Tuckahoe which is the B.P. Industrial Track. The line other than the last part to the plant isn't going anywhere as 51 runs all 5 days from M-F. There's still enough service on it.
