Petition to Stay Coal Dust Tariff Denied
On Wednesday, the Surface Transportation Board denied a Western Coal Traffic League (WCTL) petition requesting the Board to stay the effective date of a BNSF Railway Company tariff. Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation was among those filing statements in support of the WCTL petition. The coal dust tariff will limit the amount of coal dust flying from trains leaving mines in Wyoming. The Board’s full decision is available here.
