OK let's explain the coal shipping progress:

1) Coal is mined
2) Coal is transported from mine to holding area at mine
3) Coal is loaded on tractor trailers
4) Coal is transported from mine to larger storage yard
5) Coal is loaded on trains
6) Coal is transported from storage yard to shipping terminal yard
7) Coal is loaded on ships
8) Coal is transported from shipping terminal yard to overseas destination.

Now - GLER has not indicated how the coal gets from the mine to the overseas destination. GLER at this point does not have it's own loading/shipping terminal on the east or west coast. My guess is IF this were legit the coal would be transported via Rail along the Heartland Corridor to Hampton Roads, VA (either Norfolk or Newport News in particular). Since at this time GLER does not have any contract with a shipping terminal they have no way to ship it from Hampton Roads to any country.
