The usual. Scrap it when you think they aren’t looking and bypass the STB conditions where you can get away with it. This may lead to the STB being shown what they missed or failed to follow-up on 2000-2008. (ie - blackball these bottom feeders permanently)

It will be interesting to see how this coal train is routed beyond Amarillo. While the New Elk website gives the destination of the train as New Orleans, the Convent Marine terminal is actually west of there along the Mississippi River, accessed only by CN (ex-IC), meaning the train likely would need to use the Huey P. Long bridge in Baton Rouge (used by KCS) to cross the Mississippi River.

I’m somewhat surprised this coal is not getting exported out of Mobile, AL. Although SunCoke Energy which owns the Convent Marine Terminal has expanded the capacity of the facility as of recently.
