In a word, NO.

There are plenty of examples where the court system have consistently said that the STB is the agency that regulates railroads on "interstate" issues. And shipping of coal is certainly an interstate issue.

Here's one reference citing court cases:

The link above in part refers to the City of Auburn (WA) attempt to stop BNSF from reopening the Stampede Pass line, citing zoning issues. (Open the link, and search the document of "Auburn", or page down about 5 pages.)
