RE: (erielack) Coal, Iron Ore and Steel



During EL years, Bow coal was a PC-B&M move via Rotterdam Jct NY. The Met-Ed 
traffic was the only mainline unit-train move of power plant coal on EL.

Remember -- the plant didn't have to be on the EL for the EL to get the coal 
traffic.  New England burned a lot of coal for power (still does) and much 
of it moved over Maybrook.

Nowadays, Mt. Tom, MA, and Bow, NH, both get train loads, often with NS 
run-trough power -- although the situation is always in flux. Much seems to 
be coming in through ports in Rhode Island; P&W gets the haul to PanAm.
