TACOMA, Wash. (Metro) -- Our state may soon be getting not only more coal trains, but more oil trains as well.
"The Seattle Times" notes that an oil production boom in North Dakota is now generating one 100 car oil train per week on BNSF Railway across Washington to Tacoma, because oil pipelines on the route are now at capacity.
Workers are already building new rail facilities for oil in Tacoma.
BP wants to do the same at Cherry Point near Bellingham.
