My old company, CSX Transportation, announced last week that it will be closing down its administrative offices in Huntington due to declining coal traffic, affecting about 120 employees.
Surprisingly, more than a few of those folks supported Obama back in 2007, despite his comments then about coal.
Norfork southern is going to be idoling some rail ways in West Virginia due to less coal demand, There’s also been talk of but out but they’ve so far resisted it.
