coal trains
Carbon freight haulers
Coal trains are freight trains dedicated to hauling coal, typically in long lines of open-topped hopper cars.
They move coal from mines to power plants, ports, or industrial facilities.
In regions with active coal mining, coal trains are a common sight and sometimes a source of local controversy over noise, dust, and environmental concerns: The coal train rumbled through town twice a day.
