Western Railroad Discussion > Texas utility switches to PBR coal from locally mined ligniteDate: 08/28/16 20:33 Texas utility switches to PBR coal from locally mined lignite Author: bradleymckay As far as I know BNSF will bring in the PRB coal from Wyoming. I don't think UP has access to the plant.

I thought it was a high grade of dirt. That's insulting the dirt! Date: 08/29/16 08:35 Re: Texas utility switches to PBR coal from locally mined lignite Author: Lackawanna484 Good for BNSF.
Is this this facility that ran its own electric railroad for decades? Date: 08/29/16 08:47 Re: Texas utility switches to PBR coal from locally mined lignite Author: tomstp Yes it is. I'd call lignite one step below chewing tobacco.

Limestone is south of Dallas on the old B-RI near the division point town of Teague.
