According to the American Association of Railroads: “In the first quarter of 2014, crude oil accounted for 1.6% of total carloads for Class I carloads. Given that crude oil is still such a small percentage of total rail traffic, it’s not plausible to claim that crude oil has “crowded out” other rail traffic to a significant degree.”
