Nacco Junction lies on the "Joint Line", which is owned and operated by BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad. This line was built by the Burlington Northern Railroad during 1979, and provides access to 11 large open pit coal mines in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Together these mines produce nearly 400 million tons of coal a year, most of which feeds powerplants producing electricity. The line heading east leads to Peabody Energy's combined North Antelope and Rochelle Mines. Together they produced 91,523,280 tons of coal during 2007, more than any other mine in North America.
