Of course, if you put up overhead on selected main lines, it wouldn't matter what you burned, would it????? This is, of course, entirely price-driven and the numbers don't work in most places--yet. We went through this convulsion 20 years ago and they almost worked, provided the utility owned, operated and maintained the overhead (which they do better, anyway) and the RR paid by kW/kWH at the substation with primary metering. Leaves a lot of room to massage the coal rate equation. If you can get some relief on some of the capital costs.
