Oil trains to the BNSF Bellingham Sub
Author: sums007

Quick questions here: what's the routing between Spokane and destinations on the Bellingham Sub for oil trains? Scenic Sub, or the long way via Vancouver, WA?
Do empties perhaps take the Stampede Sub going back to North Dakota?

Long way round...via Vancouver, then Scenic Sub back east.

Don's some (or all) go back empty via Stampede?

Thanks, I wasn't aware Scenic was being used as a regular route for oil empties.
