Western Railroad Discussion > TXUX coal train questionDate: 10/23/16 17:24 TXUX coal train question Author: mkerner Took my 30 minute break in Tenaha, TX on the UP Lufkin sub today. A TXUX mty with a mix of KCS,BNSF, and CP engines came off the Timber Rock railroad and went north on the Lufkin sub. Whose train did I actually see?

The limestone, used as scrubbers to clean the stacks of carbon, is quarried from Clifton, TX and is hauled by unit train to the plant. Does anyone know how the loads get to the plant? I think they are routed through Lousiana.
