Railroad revenue rose 4.3 per cent between July 2013 and July 2014, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://is.gd/hLI5Wa) reported. Most of the increase is credited to freight shipments, with the rest coming from passenger and real estate gains.

The boost in revenue comes at a time of significant decline in transporting Flint Hills Resources petroleum products. There also has been a slight decrease in coal shipments.
Usibelli Coal Mine spokesman Rob Brown blamed a difficult export market for a rail-transport decline of roughly 10 per cent. Exports account for about 40 per cent of the coal mine’s market, according to Brown…
