Western Railroad Discussion > Another oil tanker train.

This appeared on the National Post (toronto) a couple of days ago:
"Edmonton based ENBRIDGE INC., Canada's #2 pipeline co. plans to develop
rail facilities to deliver 80,000 barrels a day of liight oild from N.dakota's
Bakken shale field to refineries around Philadelphia.
The co. said on Monday it will have a 75% stake in Eddystone Rail Co.,
a $68 million project to upgrade existing tracks to accommodate 120 car trains."
Canopy Prospecting Inc will own the remaining 25%. Deliveries are expected to start
in the 3rd quarter of 2013.

Anybody know what RR and what rails?

Eddystone is located a stones throw south of the Philadelphia Airport on Conrail Shared Assets's Chester Secondary which both NS and CSX have access too ... only thing for CSX access would require a reverse move if trains use the Met and Philly subs via Baltimore ... Trenton sub movements via Selkirk would be headon ... NS access is headon via Harrisburg and Philly ... NS has the crude oil strong hold of movements in the Philly/South Jersey/Delaware areas interchanging trains with BNSF either in or west of the Chicago area

NS delivered coal for Eddystone when the facility received coal

also CP delivered Bakken crude using a Chicago Canadian(via Detroit)Buffalo-Harrisburg(via Southern Tier-Sunbury-Buffalo Line)routing ... NS interchange at Harrisburg keeping the CP power to Philly

both crude routes were for the Sunoco logistics facility in Westville,NJ directly across the Delaware River from Eddystone
