Rest Growing in Matanuska Coal Rail Corridor Plans
Proposals to build a railroad into the Matanuska coal region aim to aid prospectors and a future lumber yard. Geologists report Alaska coal veins in several locations with fixed carbon around 63 to 70 percent, noting the coal’s heating value and suitability for industrial use. Local finders near Kenai and Cook Inlet areas anticipate development, with Selovia reporting 125 coal discoveries last summer and promises of property development next season.
