Coal

[MetraBNSF]

I've seen a great amount of coal traffic along the Chicago sub these days. Just today I saw 5 coal trains. Any reason for the increased coal traffic through Chicago?

Summer heat wave is a possibility.

We send a lot more than 5 coal trains a day through Chicago. Most go to CSX,NS,EJ&E, and some fo CN.
I know as usual we are supposedly behind with coal loadings but I think we have caught up to what the norm is.
I am trying to think what our total is in and out. I know most are trainsets for specific utilities going east.
