Rail based transport is about as efficient as you can get.

It has been presented on this forum and others to be so. Road Trains pose no threat to bulk cargo carriers such as trains. They do provide lower cost of transport for consumables which need tighter time to market than what trains can provide. I like my Washington Apples nice and fresh down here in San Diego.

The Keystone pipeline would certainly be the most effective at moving liquids. For liquids, nothing beats a pipe.
