Reply to "Are double coal trains split before delivery"

Whether it splits before delivery is dependent upon the length of the unloading track at the generating station.

Railroads chose 105 as the number of cars that qualified a train for the unit train rate.  Therefore, all unloading tracks will hold at least  105 cars and 4 diesel locomotives.  Others have more capacity.  Some are balloon tracks, while others are straight-through with access to the Main Track at both ends.
