I remember the Milwaukee Road running through Roundup,MT........to bad the Milwaukee didn't get some business like this on LINES WEST.....although we probably would have come up with excuses not to service the customer.......no power...lack of cars.....tracks out of service....no crews.....something to that affect!

Former Signal Peak Energy mine manager sentenced in wire fraud conspiracy
BILLINGS—A former manager at the Signal Peak Energy coal mine in Musselshell County was sentenced today to two years of probation and ordered to forfeit an RV and a Rolex watch for his role in a conspiracy to defraud the company of about $2.3 million, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Zachary Madison Ruble, 40, of Billings, pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Chief U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen presided. Judge Christensen also ordered the forfeiture of a 2016 Thor Vegas RV and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch.
In court records filed in the case, the prosecution said Ruble, who was the surface manager at Signal Peak Energy’s coal mine near Roundup, conspired with others to buy coal mining equipment from Peter’s Equipment Company, located in Virginia, knowing that PEC would not actually provide the equipment to Signal Peak."
