Nice jingle but......I parted ways after many years of membership with the Friends of the Columbia River Gorge because they wouldn't recognize the changes coming from BNSF's order in the fall of 2011 requiring a binder be applied to the top of coal loads thus preventing 86% or more of the dust loss. Did BNSF do this to protect the environment, NO, to protect their rail bed.
The other part of this anti-coal train argument that bothers me is that Americans are once again attempting to tell others how to live. I await another country coming here and telling us to remove our Columbia River dams as they are harmful to fish.....
