Hi

I left this forum for a while but now i'm back! (oh no!) LOL!

Does anybody know if the CSX railway did anything with mining?

Many thanks

Phosferous [spelling] Particularly near Tampa. Large operation. There was a RR show
devoted to it.

What do you mean? The predecessor C&O was knee deep in mining from the transportation perspective. WV, KY, VA for starters. They hauled the coal to market but I am not aware of any railroad ownership of mines.

I believe they haul coal also, to power plants here in the east. I see a lot of coal cars loaded headed east from Palmer, Mass at the Diamond.
