Not many for the amount of miles of pipe in the ground. Building the railroad would be a heck of a lot more! Haha. Rail is great to move where you need it. Still need a loading and unloading terminal though. A lot of boom and bust when it comes to oil shipped by rail. Without pipelines rail is the best bet then probably trucking. Neither are the most efficiency but will work in a bind.
