Oil train after train rumble by the farm and through town all the time.

It's difficult for the local elevators to get a train because of all the increased oil traffic.



What blows my mind is the fact that the enviro wannabees would rather see countless oil trains travel through Glacier Park rather than go down a pipeline.



Hmmm.



And Buffet invested how many hundred of millions of dollars in the last year or two in ND rail infrastructure? Not to menetion talk of building a double track across the hi-line.


That there is a pipeline, I don't care way anyone else thinks it is. It's simply a big, fat, relatively short pipeline cut into even shorter lengths. How anyone can think a moving pipeline is safer than a stationary one, beats me. Trains are a very good thing IMO, and efficient. Clearly there are many ways they can be used to expedite transportation without them being tied up for delivering stuff that can be moved even more cheaply (and safely) via pipeline.

Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
