N&W locomotive fuel coal

[NW Mailing List]

Just for the record. Most of UPs Fuel coal came from the Hanna Mines in
Carbon County Wyoming. The coal from these mine produced a higher amount of
BTU per pound then Powder river coal. PWR coal is what most people think of
when they think Wyoming coal. PWR coal is roughly 8500 btu/lb
