Norfolk Southern 4544 leads a loaded coal train north as it approaches Do Stop crossing, just south of Caneyville, Kentucky on the Paducah and Louisville Railway (PAL), on August 26th, 2025. Currently NS has been running a set of two of these trains on the PAL (empty Southbound and loaded Northbound) and they seem to alternate between loading at Warrior Coal Loop outside Madisonville, and Calvert City Loadout at Calvert City, Ky.
