Derailment on Sandpatch

That's great. Is that the mainline from the Mon-Valley to Baltimore? Coal stockpiles around here just keep growing because they can't sell the coal. They're sending it to Baltimore to ship overseas to China, who has no problem building coal-fired power plants. I wish they'd get rid of some of this coal around here because it is getting to be a pain to map such large piles every month. Not too long ago, at the loadout in Baltimore, one of the coal piles gave way and spilled onto the railroad loop and knocked an engine over. We've mapped that too so they can try to fix some things there. I think they are trying to make improvements to the area to make it more efficient to ship coal out, but they have to use what they got since you can't build anything new in the very protected Bay.
