Coal shipment held back in Wisconsin fuel crisis
A Wisconsin fuel committee report says 60,000 tons of Class 1 priority coal intended for the state has not been loaded due to lack of available rail cars. The delay stems from empty cars tied up on tracks and a railway strike affecting Kentucky sources. Officials warn the public against by‑night dealers and urge orders through legitimate channels.
