CALGARY — Canadian oil exports moving by train have set another record and the trend won’t be derailed anytime soon — until additional pipelines are built. New National Energy Board figures show 199,000 barrels of oil were exported daily by rail in May, up slightly from April and a 52 per cent jump from the same time last year.
