Goal
Coal volumes account for roughly one third of U.S. carloads (ex-intermodal) but
just 10% of Canadian carloads (ex-intermodal). Cumulatively in NA. coal accounts
for a little over one quarter of all carloads (ex-intermodal) which is down from just
under 40% in 2010. Much of this decline is due to increased supply of natural
gas, with 2016 becoming the first year that natural gas has exceeded coal in U.S.
electricity generation on an annual basis.

The decline, while significant, has not been linear, with volatility driven by changes
in relative price and weather. The long-term trend is undeniable, however,
resulting from the drastic decline in natural gas prices following the hydraulic
fracturing-fueled U.S. shale boom. To put the move in context, the price of natural
gas was roughly seven times more expensive than coal ten years ago (October
2015 MIT study), and today those prices are in parity with coal (including transport
costs associated with coal). We have witnessed a 65% correlation with U.S. coal
carloads and natural gas prices over the past ten years.
