Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With demand for coal subject to wide fluctuations based on weather, price of natural gas and emissions restrictions, railroads that rely on coal for a large part of their revenues are seeking ways to used improvements in service and efficiency to make the most of the coal traffic they do get and market it better within their networks. The U.S. is still a huge coal producer, second only to China, with reserves projected to last another 250 years at current levels. However, the power industry, which consumes roughly 90% of all coal produced is aggressively stepping up conversions to natural gas. Still coal tonnage is rising because utilities are upping capacity overall. Also, utilities have improved their inventory practices, and railroads have improved their service to the point that utilities only need 20- or 30-day supplies on hand versus 60-days. The article describes environmental laws and industry developments affecting coal shipping, including a renewed concentration on Canadian markets.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
