Nice compilation!
Nice! It's neat to see one particular type of train travel through different locations. God job!
Nice very detailed video
Great video. Narrative awesome. As previous poster said;Hunt refinery - asphalt, transportation fuels, light oils. Their website shows a picture of a large siding and a good sized tank farm. Certainly looks to be able to take those tankers.
Great stuff as always! I'm also curious where those oil trains terminate, but a likely candidate is Hunt Refinery in Tuscaloosa. That facility looks big enough that it could have a dedicated train for bringing crude oil.
How many number trains use the Artesia Sub, is it busy
