Two days are set aside for a hearing
Feb. 4 and 5 for the county Planning Commission to consider the plan,
which would allow the company to build a 1.3-mile rail spur from the
main rail line to the refinery. As part of the project,
the company would install five parallel tracks, an unloading facility
and on-site pipelines.
A maximum of 250 trains a year would deliver crude to the refinery. Each train would have three locomotives, two buffer cars and 80 railcars carrying a total of nearly 2.2 million gallons of crude oil, according to county planners. MORE
