Coal Car Shortage Impacts Lake Erie Shipments
Rail officials face a freight car famine as coal shipments via Lake Erie ports rise beyond supply. Despite a slight easing in demand, cars remain scarce and deliveries likely delay further. Lake Erie line counts exceed 25,000 cars this year with Pennsylvania Company lines higher, while the Lake Shore road holds 1,700 cars on the lake. A New York meeting authorized price increases for anthracite coal at Buffalo and Chicago starting October 1, compounding shortages.
