Transporting fuel by railway can be an inexpensive technique that takes a short time to set up; it offers minimal transit time, has readily available fleet resources, and responds quickly to the market fluctuations. Each of these transport methods has its own unique advantages and applications.
22 Oct 2013 At approximately 1:00AM Saturday morning, a train carrying crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas derailed and exploded outside of Gainford, 1 May 2015 The Obama administration on Friday issued new rules intended to make oil-by- rail safer.

Transportation by rail is the most commonly used alternative to pipeline transportation. Since the domestic oil boom in the mid-2000s, the use of rail to transport crude oil and natural gas has increased dramatically. In 2008, 7 million barrels of oil were delivered by rail.

Petroleum transport is the transportation of petroleum and derivatives such as gasoline (petrol). Petroleum is transported via rail cars, trucks, tanker vessels, and through pipelines. Which method is used to move this oil depends on the amount that is being moved and its destination.

25 Feb 2015 I'm Dave Davies in for Terry Gross, who's off this week. Earlier this month, a train carrying crude oil derailed in West Virginia, sending 27 cars off
In light of increased volumes of crude oil moving by rail (CBR) — which the federal government requires railroads move under a “common carrier” obligation — the freight rail industry continually evaluates and modernizes their hazmat operations. Transporting oil by rail is often viewed as a stopgap measure until more pipelines are built. But in a paper published this month, public policy professor Ryan Kellogg and business professor Thomas Covert at the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago found that CBR actually plays a crucial role in the oil economy, similar to the role that peaker plants play in our country’s electric system. Transporting fuel by railway can be an inexpensive technique that takes a short time to set up; it offers minimal transit time, has readily available fleet resources, and responds quickly to the market fluctuations. Each of these transport methods has its own unique advantages and applications. Rail – Oil shipment by train has become a growing phenomenon as new oil reserves are identified across the globe. The relatively small capital costs and construction period make rail transport an ideal alternative to pipelines for long distance shipping. However speed, carbon emissions and accidents are some significant drawbacks to rail transport.
