These days, most electric utility companies own there own coal hoppers, that are used to bring coal to steam plants. It is very common to see an entire unit coal train made up of nothing but utility-owned cars. It is also, however, pretty common to see nothing but railroad-owned cars in a coal train. My question is this, and it may be a pretty silly one. Would, or do, you ever see a "mixed" train with both railroad owned, AND utility owned cars? If so, how common is it?
