Crude Oil Operations
Posted by DDavidsonFarms on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 2:54 PM

I'm interested in learning about crude oil operations. Are there any back issues that feature some good articles on how oil is transported by rail, specifically 1970s-present?

This overview of "modern day" crude by rail is nine years old. Much has changed since then, but much has also remained the same.

You asked specifically about "how" oil is transported; this story looks a bit more into the where and why of it.

Sorry for the lack of imagery. The print version that appeared in their magazine carried a fair amount of photography.
