Patriot Coal Corporation (fka PCXCQ)

[frontloading]

i don't own any PcX yet, have been "preparing". i must say we drove from nashville to memphis last sunday, tunica bound...crossed the bridge in "cashville" and observed a tugboat with 6-8 huge barges of coal mountains...drove further along I=40 and observed a train with nothing but overflowing coal cars as far as the eye could see...and followed up one more time crossing another river (TN river maybe?) and viewed another tug boat leading another coal "flotilla". all in about 200 miles driving..really impressive if you were into coal, and frankly caught me off guard. that was the only product i saw transported sunday morning. just thought it was strange to see endless coal being transported in 105 degree temps! oh, and all three were north bound..
