No mention of a possible resurrection of slurry pipelines. Slurry pipelines could deliver coal to rail heads farther out where the capacity constraints are less a problem. I'll bet it'd cost less to build slurry pipelines than new rail capacity. And that new prospective capacity is still funneled onto single corridors, so if another train derails on the PRB line in the future (I would guess a 99.99% probability), the new third or fourth track will still be taken out of service.
