Since last year's derailment/fire at Mosier, Oregon the state of Oregon is imposing new rules on unit oil trains moving through the state, over UP/BNSF rails.
Oregon/Washington might ask for 'emergency contingecy plans,' or demand them from common carriers (trucks, railroads, barges, etc.) moving through that state. But they are not permitted by law (ICC/STB) from directly imposing such upon carriers involved in interstate commerce from such... These seem reasonable under the circunstances, so whether the carrier(s) comply, or not, may depend on the wording in the 'request', the weather, day of the week, mood of the attorney(s), alignment of the stars, the last meal consumed by the correspondent, the ambience of his/her office space... Lotsa variables you bet, but such is the nature of bizness!
