For Investors: Bakken Is Gradually Becoming a Household Word -- North Dakota, USA

For those of us following the Bakken, we are very aware of other industries that are tied into the Bakken, mostly oil service industries.

It was rewarding then to see an Investopedia article talking about rails and ending up reminding folks about the Bakken and a couple of Bakken drillers, now that more and more oil is being shipped out of the Bakken by rail.

I still get a kick out of Warren Buffett buying Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad a year or so ago.
