A pair of fairly new ES44AC Tier-4 credit units lead a westbound coal train on Main 2 through Nacco Wye Junction. This Junction leads to North Antelope Mine, owned by Peabody Energy. It is consistently the mine that produces the most coal on an annual basis in the Powder River Basin. In 2025, it produced roughly 59 million short tons of coal.
