It seems (post Brexit) aka national suicide we need to persuade companies to export. Our local M.P. (Dr Liam Fox) was inside this vechicle trying to persuade companies to export. Ironic n'est pas.

ET42-036 with a freight train with coal for export is passing the remotely controlled Gdańsk Motława Most junction post. Track no. 2 was then the only active track between this post and Pruszcz Gdański station. January 23, 2005.
More coal then went to ports and out to sea than the other way round, opposite to today.

ET42-036 z pociągiem towarowym z węglem wjeżdża na zdalnie sterowany posterunek odgałęźny Gdańsk Motława Most. Tor 2 był wtedy jedynym czynnym torem między tym posterunkiem a Pruszczem Gdańskim. 23 stycznia 2005 roku.
Wówczas więcej węgla szło do portów i na morze, niż w przeciwną stronę, jak to można zaobserwować obecnie.

In the final waning light of day, Savannah Port Terminal Railroad / Rail Link Z103 eases its way through the newly expanded Mason Mega Rail Terminal at the Port of Savannah. This massive project combined the two separate intermodal yards owned by both class ones that call on Savannah into a massive, continuous yard that can handle up to 8 10,000 foot intermodal trains at a time.
In the lead is Georgia Central GP9R 1800, a former Grand Trunk Battle Creek rebuild that was built new for the GT in 1956.
A parade of partially completed GE BB40-9WM for CLN head down the Susquehanna River past Marysville on Norfolk Southern train 36A. The 10 Erie, PA built locomotives are on their way to Norfolk, VA where they will be loaded onto a ship across the Atlantic. The final destination: Mozambique.
Normally in 2020 one shouldn't complain about any EMD-led train, but this wasn't what I took a day off work to see on the Mississippi Export. Apparently the day before CN ran several unit trains south (including this one), and then after running a geometry train to Mobile didn't have any crews left to run manifest A488. Therefore, the MSE didn't have any cars to take south with their own power.
I mean the way coal is going who knows how long these trains for Mississippi Power's Plant Daniel will still be running, but still not the way I had hoped to get the day started. After grabbing a couple of shots it was time to go look for the KCS.
