Surplus Tank Cars Idle Amid Oil Transport Debate
J de Pelley, president of the Association of American Railroads, told a joint committee that about 20,000 tank cars are surplus and idle, capable of moving 6 to 8 million barrels of oil monthly from Texas to the Atlantic seaboard. He cited studies by the American Petroleum Institute and a private analyst, noting most cars are privately owned with railroads and oil companies sharing ownership, and that earlier reports already indicated a 19,510 car surplus.
