This is why we changed from using tank cars to pipelines over a hundred years ago.

And the Keystone pipe line is unsafe due to possibe spills and certainly rail is much better. (sarc)

Parked the train outside the train...autopilot. Sounds like a deadly combination.

The Montreal Maine & Atlantic train did not have a driver and was being run on autopilot.

The train's conductor had parked the train outside the train and got off it as he
waited for someone to take over his shift, when it somehow 'got released', the
railway company's vice-president Josephy R. McGonigle said.

This is precisely why Obunga fights Keystone pipeline; to line Buffet’s pockets, with appropriate under the radar rewards for O in the Caymans or elsewhere, since Buffet owns the stateside portion of the RR.....And also to leave the RRs exposed as sitting ducks for terrorism, as this incident very probably was.

How old is the Alaska pipeline now?

Other than a drunk shooting at it, what have been the mega crises with it?

none.

Another terrorist attack.. Chinese may have funded it

The August issue of Trains magazine has an article touting rails safety moving oil vs. pipelines based on million ton mile stats...looks like they might need to do an update next month.

Interesting, it doesn't take much reading between the lines to see the environmental opposition is being used to keep the Keystone pipe line and Canadian tar sands oil out of our markets in favor of domestically produced shale oil and railroads.
