At
least the ones within miles of these old trains and train tracks!
Trains roll
from Canada to Gulf to fill void left by failed Keystone Pipeline

How many freight cars can a train pull?
Today a Diesel-driven locomotives can
pull literally 100's of freight cars.
Today A locomotive can generate 64,000
pounds of thrust.
Today there are some trains in the US
which are over a half mile in length.
Can you ever imagine the hell on earth
that will take place when (not if but when) just one of these trains traveling
down the middle of this country as fast as it can, carrying 100's of freight
cars and over loaded with this Canadian crude oil gets involved in an accident
and starts a fire?
Now, how long do you believe it will be before these trains get longer
and stronger?
I am sure glad that I do not live within
hundreds of miles of those old train track!
Still, the United States of America will not see any of this oil being
refined, that is until it comes back into this country for triple the price it
would be if refined and sold here!
