Coal supply crisis in Kemmerer rail link study warns of shortage
A joint report by the Kemmerer city council and the board of trade examines coal shortages, blaming transportation constraints from Oregon Short Line and Union Pacific. It notes potential output gains from an eight hour day, estimates 10 percent coal output rise, and warns that railroad demand of 2000 tons weekly harms domestic supply. It also highlights idle mine time during beet season and calls for urgent railroad action to prevent 1907 shortages.

Coal output hampered by lack of railroad access
The Coal and Coke company currently produces 300 lanes of coal daily but must haul by wagon about a mile to the railroad. The lack of ready tracks near the mine, despite promises the line would be extended soon, leaves a shortage of rails to supply the demand. Owners urge transportation companies to act as common carriers to support industry and keep coal affordable for the public.
