Yes, who would have expected a new coal contract.

This is a nice photo.  Glad to hear the news---the KP needs more traffic as well, and the addition of foreign power is good.

The same company, Progress Energy in Florida ran a few trains to West Elk last winter, and in the winter of 2013-14. It seems just in the past week they started running again. I'm always glad to see these trains, your shot reveals why.

I wouldn't be surprised.  As long as they can link to UP mid train DPs, no real problem.    When UP had a BNSF set of power for the North Fork, they did dig up a set of BNSF power for the mid-train.  Maybe Todd or Tyler will let us know in a day or two!
