摘要

The Union Pacific Railroad, Omaha, Neb., carried its 50,000th trainload of Powder River Basin coal out of the world's largest coal mine in December, marking the 12th year since UP began competing for Basin customers. It was Aug. 16, 1984, when the first trainload made its way over Union Pacific from the Powder River Basin to an electric utility. Previously, only the Burlington Northern Railroad carried Basin coal. While the 1984 start was small, Union Pacific will ship nearly 100 million tons of Basin coal to many utilities throughout the US this year. This equals about 23 loaded coal trains daily compared to 1.6 loads per day the first month of operation in 1984 and 10.4 trains daily in 1989. According to Henry Arms, UP's vice president, energy, use of Powder River Basin coal has climbed dramatically be-cause of low cost and environmentally acceptable characteristics. Significant efficiency improvements by the railroad in recent years have also driven this unprecedented growth.
