Up here in New Hampshire we get unit trains from NS. I believe they orginate in PA somewhere. Back in the 70's we got unit trains from P&LE (Pittsburgh and Lake Erie) then it was Conrail and now NS thru trains. <br /> <br />In the last few years the two major coal fired plants in New England (PSNH - Bow, NH and Mt Tom in Western, MA) have got some coal from the Powder River via UP/NS/GRS. Most of this has gone to Mt. Tom, but atleast 1 unit train came up her to Bow, NH. <br /> <br />I believe over 2,500 miles from Wyoming to Massachuttes and New Hampshire. It typically takes about 7-10 days to make it out here. <br /> <br />Josh
