Westbound Coal in Roanoke

This evening at about 6:15 a westbound loaded coal train passed by the former Roanoke passenger station near Hotel Roanoke.  It was on the track closest to the station, so apparently did not come over from the former Virginian yard. The coal cars had the logo PGNX.  There were two engines on the front of the train (running west) and two on the rear.

Can anyone provide insight on why there was westbound coal moving through downtown Roanoke and where it may have come from?  Thanks very much.
