Regional Rulings Favor Coal and Rail Boost in Mid Atlantic
In a period of renewed prosperity for local field operations Pennsylvania bituminous coal producers gain edge over Ohio rivals as the Interstate Commerce Commission approves a six cent surcharge on coal moving within Ohio. Effective June 10, rail rates will be finalized aiding Pennsylvania to meet Ohio competition. The Pittsburgh district sees upward trends in air travel and railroad activity, with Western Pennsylvania Divison figures and American Railway Association surveys signaling continued improvement into summer and beyond. A $22 million west coast project earmarked boosts district mills as Steel Corporation ties into the renewed optimism.
