Well, it's still a supply/demand paradigm. Since demand for PRB coal is exceeding current demand, and projected demand's growth curve is exceeding projected infrastructure placement including the DM&E PRB extension, we can be assured that pricing power will not be seriouisly compromised by DM&E's inclusion in the basin. Now, if current political trends cause an unnatural reduction in coal demand (aka, carbon taxes, tightening of CO2 emissions regulations) then that might end up with a relative overcapacity of rail infrastructure in the PRB.
