You may be right, but I am not convinced that the thinning at the source is necessary to separate the sand.  Nor am I convinced that the receiving refineries require a thinned product, or could not be easly modified to handle product that is not thinned.  The only clear references to thinning that I have seen say that the need for thinning is to make the oil flowable for pushing it through a pipeline.  So I am speculating that a whole different handling concept might be developed for rail that would eliminate the need to thin the oil for shipping.
