Even if railroad transportation is not mentioned within this article appearing in Today's Wall Street Journal, it certainly establishes the significance of the North American deposits of crude. Within a reasonably short time period, the article suggests that the US will only need rely on domestic sources or those within North America.
I still continue to hold that the Middle East producers through OPEC could choose to flood the market and make these developing North American sources economically untenable.
Finally, I trust that the web makes all the graphics available that appear in the print edition; they remarkably display where the crude lays; anyone here can mentally "overlay" what rail lines serve each deposit.
It is worth a review:
