Canadian Railroads > CP Rail and Irving Oil

Many stories in the news about a possible sale of all or part of Irving Group of companies.  This includes their 320,000 barrels per day refinery which is fed partly by Canadian Pacific + Irving related railroads.  The refinery in Saint John NB supplies much of the Canadian Maritimes with gasoline, propane, diesel fuel, aviation gas, etc, and is a major exporter.

A recent story on CBC suggests that US based PBF Energy could be a buyer. They operate the Delaware City DE terminal which has been well supplied by Norfolk Southern for over a decade. CP's buy back of the line through Lac Megantic for a link up with the various Irving lines was part of the effort to restore this vital rail link with Canada's oil producing West.
