CHICAGO - Iowa Pacific Holdings (IPH) announced that it is now
operating unit trains containing crude oil on its Texas-New Mexico Railroad (TNMR) subsidiary, a key rail line in the Permian Basin oilfield.
The first train which departed on January 22, originated at Genesis Energy L.P.’s (NYSE:GEL) recently constructed crude oil loading facility near Wink, TX and was destined for the Texas Gulf Coast. The TNMR has experienced massive growth in rail carloads resulting from the vast expansion of drilling and production of oil and gas in the Permian Basin.
