This week we interview James Cairns, CN Rail’s Vice President of Petroleum and Chemicals on the outlook for Canadian crude by rail considering the Alberta government production curtailment.  We also tackle some new modalities for moving heavy oil sands using rail, by moving pure bitumen in rail cars and by CanaPux for overseas shipments.

This podcast references ARC’s estimate of rail economics for reaching the US Gulf Coast: Will Canada Help Fill the Heavy Oil Shortage on the US Gulf Coast?
