I do rail shipments every week.
Some products are not shipped by pipeline.

A little difficult to get 8 Chevy Volts from Minot to Minneapolis through a pipeline I guess.

That thick goo you buy and sell is a little tough on the pumps unless you heat it up.

I based my reply on thackney's remark of 500,000 bpd by pipeline vs the projected bpd by rail.

I sold a product that could be shipped by either rail or the pipeline/truck combination.

I paid $100 more per rail car because it was more dependable than pipeline/truck.

With some products when push comes to shove rail is by far the best way to go.
