Railroads Cut Crude Oil Freight Rate to Speed Shipments
Eastern and western railroads voluntarily reduce crude oil freight rate by 50 percent to hasten shipments from Texas and Oklahoma fields. Sun Oil official Eckert says the move aids relief but may cover no more than five percent of east coast oil needs.
