Thanks to lower gas price, This was posted by one of the crew member on the EB. "So we were early into chicago. We have barely had any freight traffic heading home. A Williston North Dakota oil worker told us that because of the low oil prices at 59 dollars a barrel North Dakota oil has basically stopped production. Oil needs to be at least 75 dollars a barrel for North Dakota oil to be profitable. With the cut in production comes less oil trains which bids well for the Empire Builder. ON TIME TRAINS!!!!!! HOW NICE!!!!!! My informant told me this can continue possibly up to 2 years!!!!!"
