Tar Sands on the Tracks: Railbit, Dilbit and U.S. Export Terminals
By Ben Jervey Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Canadian heavy crude, as the tar sands is labeled for market purposes, had
ridden the rails in very limited capacity in years previous loaded into tank
cars and bundled with other products as part of so-called manifest
shipments. But to the best of industry analysts knowledge, never before had
a full 100-plus car train (called a unit train) been shipped entirely full of tar
sands crude.
Because unit trains travel more quickly, carry higher volumes of crude and
cost the shipper less per barrel to operate than the manifest alternative, this
first shipment from the Canexus Bruderheim terminal signaled the start of yet
another crude-by-rail era an echo of the sudden rise of oil train transport
ushered in by the Bakken boom, on a much smaller scale (for now).
