Re: Loaded Consumers Coal Train
Well, here's how I see it. The remaining coal fired power plant at Essexville (Dan E Karn Generating) is scheduled to stop using coal and be demo'ed in 2023. That will bring the need for coal to a halt. So, in my humble opinion, I see Lake State keeping it up 'till closing. They have it now, and, for the short duration of the remaining time frame of operation, I don't see Consumers dabbling with any more contracts. Of course, as we all know in the railroad business, things can change rapidly. One thing for sure, when the coal stops completely, railroad fans like us will feel the pain too.
