North Dakota's Crude By Rail -- RBN Energy

A couple of weeks ago a reader asked for a list of crude-by-rail oil loading facilities in North Dakota.

With the help of readers I compiled a pretty good list, which I call the "readers' list."

Today RBN Energy provides a list of current CBR oil loading terminals and discusses how this oil may save the refineries on the east coast.

Here's their list:


These facilities are on top of seven existing rail terminals in North Dakota, some of which have been around for years.  These include Stampede, Donnybrook, Ross, Stanley – EOG, Minot, Dore, New town and Beulah.

But it's not all good news: there are several issues that impact those numbers. The linked story is probably one of the better stories you will see all day.

A note to the granddaughters

For archival purposes, here are two photos of the birding club on its recent outing to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.  It was a quick visit. School let out early Wednesday afternoon. We departed about 2:00 p.m., arriving about 3:00 p.m. The highlight for Olivia is a snack at the museum cafe so we stopped there first and then on to the museum itself. We checked out the birds first and then the Asian exhibits.
