The oil is loaded into the tank cars, and are moved by a diesel train across the rails to the refinery or the train’s planned destination. Trains can carry a massive amount of this oil by using multiple tank cars. Though each rail car holds a lot less oil than a large marine tanker vessel, when multiple are used a lot of oil can be transported.
The refinery, with current crude capacity of 39,000 barrels per day (6,200 m 3 /d) is located on 136 acres (55 ha) in the deep-water Port of Tacoma, Washington. This includes 11.5 acres (4.7 ha) of waterfront with 1,350 feet (410 m) of waterfront on the Blair Waterway which provides direct access by ocean-going barges and tankers.
The refinery now occupies a 650-acre (260 ha) plus site, producing more than 291,000 barrels per day (46,300 m 3 /d), and employing around 1,600 employees and contractors. Its location on the west banks of the Big Sandy River and only two miles south of the Ohio River , allows it to ship products by barge as well as pipeline. [ 1 ]
