New Bakken Oil Destination
Posted by beaulieu on Monday, January 23, 2012 8:02 AM

Bakken Oil has a new destination on the East Coast. It is a BNSF to NS move with the NS move symboled 64D which goes to CSAO Pavonia Yd. in Camden, NJ from where a local shuttles the cars to the closed Sunoco refinery at Eagle Point, NJ. The refinery is closed but it has railcar racks, large storage capacity, and a pipeline connection to other refineries in the area still operating.

Moving that" Bad for the Environment" oil right over to the East Coast. Whistling

This ought to drive some in the environmental community right over the edge!Whistling

They were up in arms just moving it down the Keystone XL pipeline toward the Gulf, now they imagine all sorts of mischief in their own backyards. Sheesh!  Imagine the mischief that they will conjure up now! Mischief

Thanks much for that info, beaulieu !  Thumbs Up  (One of the folks over on the Yahoo NS Altoona - Johnstown Group Forum got some photos of the first move of it, and several were wondering what that symbol was for.)
