Yeah, no.
There’s ZERO coal mining in my area (SE PA)

Now NE PA, YES lots of coal mining.

And with the green freaks in charge, coal is finished and along with it a LOT more PA railroads.

I still burn coal as my "supplemental" heat it saves me several hundred gallons of oil every winter. With the coast per ton this past winter I didn't save near as much money as previous years. It is still less then oil but when the temperature is warm enough for my mini-splits to be economical for above 30F they actually pencil out less expensive then my coal. We do keep the inside temperature higher with the coal then the other heat sources.

While that is very cool, I am imagining this like NJ transit.
Trains breaking down on the tracks, trash everywhere.

But at least their won't be fires happening all the time on the old tie piles.
I always wondered if NJT started the fires, since it's so hard to dispose of the old creosote ties...

But they do burn good.

Gary Ind USS mill trains. Gives you an idea how steel is made there.

That reminded me that just to the west of the Gary Steel Works is a roundhouse that's still active... lower left in this screenshot.
