What a lot of these energy hype pieces don't tell you is that a majority of what is being produced here, or planned on being produced, is for off shore sales, not for US public consumption.  Investors again have taken control and are not telling the whole truth.  Keystone pipeline is to get to a refinery that will ship overseas not over the country which is why hedge funds, commodities gamblers, investment bankers, and other thieves want it so bad.

RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.

I found this artcle on NBC news http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economywatch/us-fast-track-energy-independence-report-suggests-1C8344034. It discussed how US energy production was growing rapidly and also mention, if only briefly, its impact on the railroads. The articel said there was a shortage of both tank and hopper cars that was problematic.
