Coal trains rumble through town frequently, all headed west. They have 
to make a detour to BC because Washington and Oregon are too good to 
allow coal to be shipped from their ports. The coal is high quality 
anthracite which is much less polluting than the bituminous or lignite 
that is used if anthracite isn't available.

It's ironic that after screwing themselves several different ways 
Germany is firing up the coal power generation plants and most burn 
lignite. Germany has some bituminous but I don't think there is any 
anthracite.
