Published rail rates

This plant’s town is in no Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern ethanol rate group. It is most likely served by BNSF, CN, CP or CSX, which don’t publish usable single-car ethanol rates.

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
