Rail movement data availability, Task No. 1. Final report
The Department of Energy's Non-Pipeline System collects data on petroleum and petroleum products shipped between Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADD's) by carriers other than pipelines. Waterborne shipments are well covered in the system, but there are no rail or truck data except for PADD 5, and these data are not considered exremely reliable. This report discusses all sources of rail movement data (and incidentally truck movement data) which were found, assesses the quality of the data, and reports background information acquired in the course of the investigation. The report is the end result of an investigation into sources which might fulfull DOD's requirements for data which track petroleum products from PADD of origin to PADD of destination and provide information about amounts carried and product characteristics. The origin/destination/amount data available are those of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Department of Transportation. No other sources were discovered despite intensive investigation.
