[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSXrules4eva</i> <br /><br />I also heard that there is a problem on the Powder River Coal Basin with coal dust blowing off the tops of hoppers or gondolas and falling on the road bed, which can damage the track structure. This happens mainly when there is heavy precipitation present, rain, snow, ect. It then froms mud or a concreate like substance. I also found out that BNSF wasn't doing their part in maintaining the road bed. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Last I knew, it was BNSF's part to do ALL of the maintenance. UP pays BNSF for their share.
