A remote area of eastern Wyoming known more for dinosaur fossil digs and rodeos seems an unlikely place for a beehive of train activity. But thanks to some help from Balfour Beatty Rail Inc. (BBRI) - and a healthy oil reserve sitting below the nearby shale - plenty of activity is in store there in the months ahead. "We ended up with a pretty nice facility," says Steve Gorton, BBRI Director of Operations/West. "This is an area that is just heating up. As they increase the ability to get oil out, you're increasing the amount of business that you'll see here." BBRI's work this summer at the new Powder River Basin Industrial Complex just east of Douglas, Wyo., is expected to start paying dividends soon for BNSF Railway Co. and the two energy companies operating a crude oil rail terminal there: Crestwood Midstream Partners L.P. and Enserco Midstream L.L.C. Crestwood Midstream L.P. is a publicly traded master limited partnership that develops, owns and operates predominantly fee-based natural gas, NGL and crude oil storage and transportation businesses. Enserco Midstream L.L.C, a subsidiary of Twin Eagle Resource Management L.L.C, owns and operates crude logistical assets in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, and has plans to develop additional assets in North America.
