I would say so on volume. Rymes is the only rail customer I can think of near me, and they're up here in Stratford on NHCR, and I think they get some cars on the old Northern Stub. (cars are no longer spotted down by Irving in W. Leb, not sure if those were their cars in the last two decades anyhow). Neither location can handle a ton of cars, so we're not talking anything near unit trains here. Stratford yard always seems to be full of tanks, but likely storage/switching related. All the other local suppliers seem to have their storage tanks near their fleet HQ's, and none else are close enough to existing sidings or usable rail. I figure that there are enough spread about in the North Country, so that volume would be too sporadic for a consistent delivery, and we know how the tracks are. As for sand, I know of two pits just within 15 minutes of me, both next to formerly active rail (Berlin Branch, & Mt. Div east of Scott Jct.), and both are shipping by truck as always. As pointed out, nowhere to send a dedicated train worth of sand to.
