Neal,
I strongly suspect it's a ploy to get a break on taxes or emmissions 
credits for using cleaner fuel. I was working on a project for 
Fischer-Tropsch synthetic Diesel fuel, and contacted the railroad 
about putting in a siding. They wouldn't do it unless I could give 
them an exclusive on purchase of the fuel.
With that, and a few other reasons, the project was never completed.
