I have to think that if that box car was painted in a patriotic theme with "North American Oil" written on it, no one would complain about waiting for it to pass through the crossings!Good point " bostontrainguy ", it would be akin to those road signs posted from traffic delays created by the Highway construction season to appease the motorists........"

Some information I ran across with facts of Irving's Saint John N.B. Oil Refinery, Canada's largest.
The refinery has a capacity of just more than 300,000 barrels per day, exports > 80 % of production to the U.S. and accounts for 75 % of Canada's gasoline exports to the U.S. and 19 % of all U.S. gasoline imports.
