Although coal has largely declined in recent years, it has not yet disappeared completely. I actually lucked out and caught a meet between a westbound load on Main 1 and an eastbound empty on Main 2. The load is waiting for manned helpers to be cut in, and the empty is waiting for a new crew to climb onboard.
