BNSF: About 10 oil trains per week pass through county
Permalink  
 


The county is Snohomish WA and yes people have been

out counting these trains as they go by their

voluntary checkpoint and some numbers are up

on the board to look at. Now whats missing in all

this are the "loaded oil-trains" and the "empty oil-trains".

Of course the loaded oil trains are the biggest concern

but to somebody at a Marysville viewpoint, sees a oil

train passing "south" assumes its loaded with oil but

it is an "empty oil-train" which the risk of "anything" from

its  passage is nil. The oil trains passing thru Wa State have

a definite flow with loaded trains taking the Columbia River

route thru Pasco, Vancouver, Seattle, Everett, Anacortes,

Cherry Pt. The empties go back via Stevens Pass out of

Everett. Same with the coal empties out of Everett.

About 10 loaded oil trains a week is about 4-5 under

what usually happens from my observation. Cherry Point's

demand in the near future could add atleast 2 more

oil trains a day on the BNSF Bham Sub going through

Bellingham daily. Trains crawl thru Bham at 25mph so

the city should be spared any major disaster.

I think the public getting involved in the oil trains is

good to some degree but in the end the "oil-trains"

and "coal-trains" are going to be running through

more towns than ever and you better get used to it.

The railroad is watching these trains at all times.
