So a 50,000 BPD delivery would require about 5,000 dedicated rail car fleet?
With a continuous movement like this one, the RR tend to improve switching, etc., so it might not take a full 5,000 cars. I’d bet it would take all of 4,000 though...
This represents a single line haul on a very direct 286,000 lb. capacity route - no interchanges, no classification yards. It mimics ethanol moves which have been on-going for several years.
The Albany terminal is immediately adjacent to the Canadian Pacific Kenwood Yard; track and storage capacity are virtually unlimited and the unloading facilities are in place.
You could expect the dedication of 29,000 gallon cars to this move, so allowing for a 14 day turn would require, what, maybe 1,000 cars?
