Gas Delivery Shift Dims Rail Gas Transport in Midwest
Industry observers say a railroad delivery ban on automobile gasoline in the midwest and southwest will not trigger wide rationing. Oil firms have moved to trucking for months, with 80 percent of southwestern gasoline already by road and most states within 100 miles of consumer points. McDowell of Mid-Continent Petroleum notes only Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas face significant disruption, while many terminals exist to support trucking. The order is not expected to cause broad shortages or harm the industry overall.
