Do younunderstand that a pipeline construction is a HUGE capital expense? The reason crude by rail is popular is because it uses mostly existing infrastructure... minimal timeframe to construct a transload siding... minimal expense... which works when at any time the Arabs can flood the market and destroy it all... which is currently happening.
