Power Lines
2001 was a year of tremendous growth for UP’s coal franchise with volume up
12%. Fundamental to that success was the effort of employees such as Karen
Sebela (left), manager of energy development. She coordinates the complete coal
logistics system for several customers including Midwest Generation in Chicago.
Karen ensures her customers receive coal from the right mine at the right power
plant on the right day to meet the growing electrical generation needs of power
producers. UP’s internally developed Bulk Train Planner system provides real-time
status of coal trains to both Karen and, over the Internet, to her customers, allow-
ing collaborative train management.
