Glad somebody else noticed that bias. The level of potentially toxic tank cars being handled in NJ was already well up there but that fact is ignored to demagogue on a particular light crude oil.
Only two things had to change to have made the disaster in Canada not happen: improper maintenance on the locomotive that resulted a fire which required the local FD to come out to shut off the engine to extinguish the fire and the engineer setting the required number of handbrakes on the cars in the train so the loss of the air system upon the shutdown of the locomotive could not result in the train’s uncontrolled movement into town.
Precisely. Where else does the cargo get blamed for mistakes or shortcomings of procedure by the shipper?
