Maine passed a highly restrictive mining law in 1991 after ME DEP negotiated the closure of the Kerr-American zinc and copper mine in Hancock County.

This is a thread about crew shortages. Not some hypothetical fairyland where a railroad is going to be divvied up piecemeal. PAS moves a tremendous amount of tonnage. They cannot even come close to handling the potential that their customers want to move by rail. This is why many of us are floored ...
