Reply to "Oil Trains"

I retired from the railroad recently. oil producers seem to prefer rail because they  also use the transit time as storage for there product as well as being able to re consine the loads enroute. the costs are far less than maintaining there own pipelines , pumping stations and storage facility. There are new and upgraded cars everywhere they are not in short supply we used to store them when things slowed down ( good income for doing nothing).  even when prices are down they keep producing and storing the final product because it is such a problem to shut down and restart refineries. and David is correct railroads as a rule don't own hazmat cars but are required to move them as long as they are properly documented.
