I don't know how it is in your neck of the woods (Troll, Freddie & Cal) but around here, this is what we think of oil trains. A guaranteed shitty trip.

With the reopening of the refinery in Philly, sooner or later yer gonna find your ass behind the throttle tu Troll! It's just another train, and although it is a unit train, you'll have instructions for movin' that shit.
Not ta mention without the refined product(s), you ain't gonna move a damn thing! We're stuck with crude. Maybe they're still hoping for GE, or EMD ta build a solar powered unit that won't need oil-based fuel.
Don't hold yer breath!

We get ethanol loads and Mtys, far as I know we only get crude Mtys, they take the loads around the long way to avoid the heavy grades.
Anything that stays out of the yard, get on, get off is preferred.
Get on, get off is great.........if you can make it over the road. Rarely happens on an oil train.
Uncle Warren, who actually controls much of the oil train traffic which shows up in yer neck o' the system, seems ta have no problem moving the shit. 2LARRCO seems ta overpower their unit trains, be they oil, coal, or grain! Anything moving in bulk seems ta warrant extra locomotives. And quite often they'll add two or three DP units ta shove the ass, or cut 'em in mid-train! That shit's gotta move since most of it has been sold before it's even loaded!

On LAMCO, oil trains get anal-eyezed from one end of the road to the next by children who can barely spell 'train' with tape pulls, banners, radar, signal drops, shunts, cunts, and funks.
