摘要

Union Pacific has ended its embargo on new business from all stations on the Joint Line serving the Southern Powder River Basin of Wyoming, the railroad announced. The embargo, in place since July 18, 2005, officially ended March 27. "Western coal from Colorado and Wyoming supports critical energy needs throughout the entire United States," said Doug Glass, vice president - Energy. "The embargo was originally put in place during the summer of 2005, when an aggressive track work program was underway to restore full capacity to the Joint Line. The embargo allowed us to protect service to our existing customers without being forced to transport coal to new customers."
