Does anybody know the routing of the Pope's Creek coal trains for the short distance they traverse the NEC? (I know they leave the NEC at the Bowie wye, but where do they join it? I doubt they'd run the coal trains thru DC Union Station..)
Also, what types of coal cars would most likely be used? And how many? Power I guess would be three widecab Dash-8s or two SD80MACs?
