Tougher on trains: The Wall Street Journal reports the Obama administration will later Wednesday unveil new rules proposing stricter safety standards on trains carrying flammable fuels, including oil and ethanol. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx will announce the rules, including standards for tank cars, speed limits for trains carrying flammable fuels, brake standards and testing for oil and other volatile liquids, the Journal said.

Don't worry.
It just means that we will have more regulations to ignore.
A few sad sacks will be picked off in selective enforcement.
LAMCO has made it clear that if you're on an oil train, you'll be checked. For now.
Carry on.
Nothing to see here, folks.

Ya gotta wonder if the pool crews that get the call for an oil train
might be going "oh-no" as a first thought today. I have a chance
at making history today.
