Northwest Wins Priority In Winter Coal Movement
The Interstate Commerce Commission issued new emergency orders directing more than twenty railroads serving Western Pennsylvania to prioritize movement of soft coal to the Northwest for winter stock. Mines in several states must supply Northwest needs before other regions, with embargo powers if shipments are redirected. The plan targets Lake Erie ports for daily coal quantities to meet head of the lakes demand, aiming to avert a Canada link and potential record handling.
