What does that mean? Did they truck the coal from Weston to the CB-G line?

If this mine re-opens and ship by rail, what are the potential implications for traffic and routings?

Prior to that they got some coal from a CF&I mine in Crested Butte via Gunnison , Marshall Pass, and a barrel transfer to standard gauge cars in Salida, the line was abandoned in 1955.

looking for buyers, prev chineese were the market and galveston was the target, coal went east to las animas then to tex
