I think delivery by train has overtaken the whole game. Union Pacific has brought on a fantastic number of oil transport cars over the last two years and clearing tons of profit...moving oil. The whole matter is null and void as far as I can see it....the oil is moving and the environmental idiots really got nothing out of this. Same with fracking....it’s too late to really affect any state, and they all have a taste of profit.

Rail delivery of U.S. oil and petroleum products continues to increase, but pace slows

The roughly 700,000 barrels per day of crude oil, which includes both imported and domestic crude oil...

That compared with the 16 million barrels a day we refined. While rail is growing in percentage compared to previous years, it remains a rather small player in the movement of oil. In North Dakota, however, it moves more than half the oil the state produces.

Profits will remain big as long as there's no pipeline.
I would look to bail out on anyone who is long on tank cars as the 2016 election approaches.
