Coal Train

Here is a short video of a coal train enroute to Essexville Karn Weadock power plant near Bay City. This is in Saginaw, MI.
Coal trains are the most boring to be working on because they are very heavy and long. If you break a knuckle most likely you will have a long walk back to the train. Because they are a heavy train they take a long time to get any where. UP and the BNSF railroad haul all the coal from the Powder River Basin here in Wyoming and take it East.
