UP coal hoppers charge up Logan Hill westward on main 2 as loads begin the descent on main 3 (UP, with DPU at right) and main 1 (BNSF, at left). The massive quantity of sub-bituminous coal found in the region, and its close proximity to the surface, makes the coal reasonably inexpensive - today's spot market price for Powder River coal is about $14.10 per short ton.
