由于铁路运输需求的增加，Holcim公司正努力存储水泥窑所需的燃料资源。虽然最近得到帮助，但生产车间情况任不稳定.有车间经理说，“我们是得到了燃料，但是我们没有得到我们所需要的数量，更不能存储燃料”。星期二和星期三公司收到的煤可以支撑一个星期，但没有其它的煤安排到货。
两星期前，有关人士曾到奥马哈向官方申请优先运输，但是官方人员似乎也很难减轻Holcim公司的压力。由于经济落后，为了减少开支，运输部门解雇了一批运输工人，运输能力也下降了。
Holcim 可以轮流使用燃料，如天然气，但是有些设备的一天的温度可能达到1475摄氏度，这个选择太花费太大。

Holcim cement plant holding steady for now
FLORENCE — In the last two weeks, the local outpost of cement producer Holcim (U.S.) Inc. has received three rail shipments of coal, keeping its doors open for now.
Because of booming demand for rail-freight and insufficient capacity by Union Pacific, Holcim is struggling to stockpile the preferred fuel source for its kiln, an essential tool in cement production.
Although the recent shipments help, the plant still is in a precarious position, said Rob Davies, the plant's manager.
"We are getting by, but we aren't getting the quantities we need. We aren't accumulating inventory," he said.
The most recent coal shipments, received Tuesday and Wednesday, should keep Holcim's fires burning for another week, but no other shipments have been scheduled yet, Davies said.
Two weeks ago, Davies traveled with other Holcim executives to Omaha, Neb., in an effort to encourage Union Pacific officials to make the Florence facility a priority delivery point.
The meeting was a good one, according to Looman Stingo, the company's Sr. Vice President of Logistics, but Union Pacific seemed unable to do very much to alleviate Holcim's problems.
"There's only so much they can move," Stingo said, citing the dramatic increase in demand for rail freight.
Complicating Union Pacific's position is that, in an effort to cut costs, the company recently let go rail-crew members because of a lagging economy, Stingo said.
Holcim's local plant has the ability to run their kiln off of alternative fuels such as natural gas, but for a piece of equipment that needs to reach 1,475 degrees Celsius 24-hours per day, that option is incredibly expensive, Davies said.
