This thread is gonna get long and heated, I can fell it warming up already. <br /> <br /> <br />Pipelines are generally much more efficient than trains and tankers, the only drawback is the fact that they are so costly to install in the first place, but once they are there the upkeep is minimal. <br /> <br />There was a great article on the railways of Iraq in the last Trains magazine, I can see by the article that the railway needs a lot of work to say the least. <br /> <br />Don't get me wrong, I'm all for rail transportation, but to move all of the oil by train (in Iraq) would be crazy.... trackside bombs are one thing to worry about, but what about all the guys with their shoulder held missile launchers? That's one easy target, especially if there are 20 trains a day using the tracks.
