Better Blends. A good example of the coal-rail partnership is the Norfolk & Western, which runs coal directly to port out of the rich Appalachian fields. In operation at Hampton Roads is the first of two units of N. & W.'s $25 million coal Pier 6, the world's largest coal-loading fa cility.

Bucking headwinds in the other direction, the flight takes 18 hours, and even with a refueling stop at Murmansk the planes often reach Havana with a perilously low fuel reserve...
