Crude oil shipments by rail from Midwest to coastal regions decline">Crude oil shipments by rail from Midwest to coastal regions decline

(Fri, 11 Mar 2016) The movement of crude by rail within the United States, including within Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts, reached a high of 928,000 barrels per day (b/d) in October 2014, with most of the shipments originating in the Midwest and going to the East Coast, West Coast, and Gulf Coast regions. Since October 2015, crude-by-rail volumes have declined as production has slowed, as crude oil price spreads have narrowed, and as more pipelines have come online.
