The railroads say we got to have atleast "this much
leeway" and its understood and then passed down
to where the railroads can keep moving these trains
despite the upheavals. I'm sure there must be 50 new
tankcars built a day to replace the older cars so it will
be just a matter of time before all the oil-trains got
the new cars...but thats not the point to the seeming
more aware public as "new cars, old cars"...the wreck
will spill. BNSF is quick to point out that putting any speed
restriction on these oil trains below 45-50mph is just
going to gum-up the works.

Hmmm... Then there's this:seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2024114808_coalexportsxml.html And it tu involves shitload of money. And we know just who has the moneybags ta influence what happens out west.
