Indeed - Buffet owns Berkshire Hathaway

BNSF indeed ships at least 90 million barrels of oil specifically from the Bakken oil fields (the one in question), and had invested billions to increase their ability to ship oil in 2012

I can't find the price per barrel for shipping, though. Here's the pricing page, but you need a login

This site says shipping costs $10-15 per barrel, but shipping by pipeline would be about $5, 1/3rd the cost.

That means the pipeline could potentially save the economy (but hurt Buffet) by at least $1 billion each year.
