Coal as a fuel source for a power plant typically involves a substantial transportation component as it moves from the mine to the point of consumption. Direct rail or other connections ensure economical transportation from mines to markets.

NexGen has developed solid business relationships with railroad and other transportation entities from the boardroom to local agents. Our goal is to better serve customers and reduce delivered costs for coal. We have volume purchasing power which can assure the most competitive pricing for your coal transportation needs.

Contracting for transportation services can sometimes require patience and persistence. NexGen can directly negotiate and execute a transportation agreement with the railroad or other transportation entity, thereby relieving you of the task. NexGen also provides train scheduling to the mines, scheduling of train maintenance, verification of repair-shop work and billings, monitoring trains while in service with cycle times, monitoring railroad regulatory issues, verification of railroad AAR billings, and monitoring contract volumes.

In addition to dealing with the railroads, NexGen can provide you with the unit train sets necessary to haul the coal on the railroad. We can purchase your train sets and free up your capital for other uses. NexGen can provide long-term leases of train sets on a competitive basis.

Additionally, we can contract for the service to perform the necessary maintenance on the railcars.
