West Virginia coal power and transport reach
West Virginia played a major role in 1934 coal production, yielding 110 million tons of bituminous coal and supplying about 22.76 percent of U S output. The piece tracks mining gains since 1921, rail expansion to move coal to seaboards and across borders, and potential rate changes that could impact the state’s coal and transport industries. It notes record-breaking moves on the Chesapeake and Ohio line and forecasts potential Supreme Court consideration of interstate freight rate disputes.
