[quote user="nanaimo73"]NP never seems to get any attention on theis forum, compared to the Milwaukee Road or the Great Northern.I wonder if they could have built south into Wyoming to reach the main coal fields ?[/quote]Actually Northern Pacific did build into the Powder River Basin's main fields, at their northern end, Rosebud, Montana.  I don't think anyone in coal mining considers Rosebud "not the main field."  The coal extracted of course was only for railway fuel there being absolutely no market for PRB coal for any other purpose until the 1970s.
