If the coal industry is hammered, how about the train industry that hauls that coal?

I rode the Pony Express Trail in 2001, 2000 miles-8 weeks. When we were in Nebraska and Wyoming, we saw 2/3 locomotive trains with the same number of cars=120 every 30 minutes or so.

At night time, the sweet sound of the train whistles in the distance was like music. The echoes were really interesting.
