As we have talked about on here, the oil boom in the Dakotas has meant a lot of increased rail traffic to ship the crude out, apparently it is also hindering shipments of grain that used to be one of the big loads in the area. It is kind of ironic in one sense, back in the late 19th century the agrarian progressives were bitter about the railroads' cozy relationship with companies like standard oil, where they were giving oil shipments priority and also charged a lot less to ship oil then the products from farms, seems like in one sense we have come full circle with that.....
