CN is adding a group of tracks at Symington that fills a long standing hole in their yard. You can pick it out quite clearly in aerial photos. They have something like 80 to 100 tracks accross, with a piece in the centre missing.

They add tracks every year throughout the network. This has been planned for some time and is not necessarily related to oil trains. Just an overall increase in traffic. Are oil trains actually still increasing? There are some oil loading locations built adjacent to CN recently that are not operating.
