Well I'm aware of "many" pipeline propositions going on in Canada and
the USA. Many more oil trains in the meantime. There seems to be
enough "incidents" with them to date that transporting oil in tanktrains
should have a lot more attention/monitoring. Maybe assignning a TM
to the oil train if you're in the one a day class. Train goes on the ground
and a TM takes the rap.

Pipelines are said to be the safest method for for moving hydrocarbon energy products.

If you subtract the Quebec distaster which was a MIR thing
that could only happen in the movies and somehow happened
in real. This Quebec disaster is the result of a trainman who
dint tie enough brakes on sitting railcars on a siding. So
if everything went well that day the train would be secured
and would not move until the next arriving crew made it so.
Thats the intent. So you can blame the celestial influences
for this whole thing. There has been other oil train derailments
since but nothing like Quebec. I read or heard the BNSF making
the oil trains 40mph which may be a good idea for the time
being.

If they run it in a pipeline, the railroad will still fawk it up.

Like that wreck up on Cajun pass (I think) where the train sped up and derailed and the

engine or a car was forced down into the ground hitting the pipeline and causing a hell of a fireball.
