Locally I see a good many trains with the 1267 placard. It piques my curiosity to see one train eastbound and one westbound at the same time, both full. Why not leave the oil back there closer to where it came from instead of expending the transportation on it?

Oh . . . and one of my dream jobs would be to offload coal or oil at rail terminals. Getting too old for that now, I reckon.

"Rail terminals are now better equipped to load and unload unit trains. Five years ago, U.S. rail loading capacity for crude oil was almost entirely for manifest trains, but now more than 30 loading terminals throughout the United States can accommodate unit trains."

It gives me a decent feeling to know that I was directly involved in the design and construction of 2 of these terminals in the Permian Basin back in 2012 and 2013. Makes me feel like I have contributed something positive to the National economy, regardless of the actions of the Marxist cocksucker in the White House, or the Quisling Republicrats that ignorant voters seem to refuse to primary their asses out on the street.
