C&O Eyes Coal’s Future With Mechanization and Growth
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway chief Walter J. Tuohy reported in Chicago that over the past decade the railroad spent more than 186 million dollars on coal related equipment and facilities. He noted Southern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky produce about a third of the nation’s bituminous coal and urged continued mechanization to match rising costs and keep coal competitive. He highlighted diesel locomotives as a key cost saver and warned railroads face unfair legislation while advocating rate reform and freer abandonment of unprofitable services.
