DOT111 Rail Cars
DOT111 Rail Cars
I think that transporting oil by rail car will become quite a bit more constrained after the disaster at Lac Megantic. These rail cars have been the subject of a lot of debate regarding safety because they incorporate a thinner metal in the construction of the tank and I would expect that this unfortunate accident will result in their use being discontinued. The result will enivitably be that small producers will have a hard time transporting oil to market by rail until new rail cars are procured.
