North Dakota oil producers are increasingly using trains to hunt for the best price for their crude.
North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources director Lynn Helms says as much as 40 percent of the state’s oil exports are being shipped by train instead of pipeline.
Helms says there isn’t enough pipeline space yet to handle all of North Dakota’s production. It is now almost 640,000 barrels a day.

Burlington Northern merged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway at the end of 1996 to form the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway[1][2] (later renamed BNSF Railway), which was owned by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation. That corporation was purchased by Berkshire Hathaway in 2009[3] which is controlled by investor Warren Buffett.

At least one of the railroads; Warren Buffett’s Burlington Northern Santa Fe benefit from the Obama administration’s decision to reject TransCanada’s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit.

I blame a lack of coffee.
I could not possibly be my fat fingers or slow mind.
Another development is the scarcity of tank cars.
Cars once dedicated to heavy oil or asphalt are being cleaned up and converted to crude oil service.
Maybe they could build a big pipeline?
