Not exactly. Perhaps you weren't aware that Stockton / Oakland export iron ore and coal. I don't believe that Seattle and LA are equipped to handle those commodities.
Quote:Metroports.comThese track extensions will allow the Port of Stockton to begin receiving three more bulk unit trains per week for export. This increases the capacity at the Port of Stockton and Metro Ports ship loader to six unit trains from the current three trains per week of iron ore or coal for export.
