Date: 01/11/14 11:56 Re: NS heritage to WA Author: Rickv25 If it is Arco,WA it is most likely going to Cherry Point, between Bellingham,WA and the Canadian border. The BP refinery there was originally owned by Arco.
Posted from iPhone Date: 01/11/14 12:05 Re: NS heritage to WA Author: bbcc yes Arco is up near ferndale, but this is a new symbol for unit trains that didnt exist until very recently. AWA. until recently all the unit crude trains in washington have been going to FTE (fidalgo-tesoro, near anacortes) or TAO (tacoma oil?). i wonder why the new AWA symbol is being used, are these new shipments?

Date: 01/11/14 17:26 Re: AWA Author: BN4364 It's a double loop facility on the Cherry Pt sub of BNSF. The facility can hold two oil trains but only one can be unloaded at a time.
