Indiana Coal Markets Strained by Rail Freight Delays
Indiana coal operators along the Evansville Terre Haute and Southern Indiana lines testify to limited production, averaging two days weekly. They blame Big Four and Vandalia railroads for embargoes and higher rates, causing loss of contracts and forcing shipments to shift to Vandalia routes or Western markets. Officials report 575 to 966 lost carloads from August to September, with several mines operating only two or three days a week and cuts in Indianapolis gas belt supplies.
