Movements of crude oil by rail in the US averaged 443,000 b/d in the first 5 months of 2016, down 45% from the same period last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration’s energy-by-rail data methodology report. Fewer shipments of crude oil by rail from the Midwest (PADD 2) to the East Coast (PADD 1) account for about half of the decline.
