Your welcome MP, Its very odd to me as well! 1/2) yes coal is coming from the west for few powerplants to the south and for transloading, there was a move of ILL coal from Virden to Dunfermine, but I think the KJRY-UP might have took this away. But ILL coal is making a strong come back so it wouldn't surpise me if there was. 3)Yes its the old NYC, UP Pana sub, at Toland; I know a Manifest comes off this with alot of Busch traffic and ore trains to Granite city. 4)I'm not sure of limits, I know UP was thinking of getting rid of the pana Sub but that was awhile ago and nothing came of it. 5)The NW to SE routing wouldn't have to cross any of the bridges just rights across TRRA from North Market to Grand Avenue in ST. Louis. But I have also heard that it costs alot to ship threw St. Louis. Du Quoin sale would require them to use alot of TRRA trackage and rights over KCS. 6)the shuttle loaders are both at Lowder north of Virden. It goes to Galesburg then Texas. The trains CN sends to Peoria are going AE Staley in Decatur. The ones going down the beardstown line come off the line at centralia for export @ mound city, New Orleans, etc. 7)The UP thing was a couple of years ago, when it seemed CSX was going to dump that line in favor of the old pennsy main. Thanks for the welcome I'm more of a lurker here and I grew up in St. Louis, living just outside the ST.L now.
