Use more buffer cars.

Hmm. A bone thrown to Carl Icahn? (He owns ACF.)

Or, we could construct a safer alternative than rail transport - perhaps, oh, I don’t know, a pipeline?

[Balding_Eagle]

I’ll wager that by the end of 2014, more people will be dead as a result of ObamaCare than have died from train crashes during the entire existence of the DOT 111 cars.

80,000 tanks * 100,000 (Cost of new) = $8,000,000,000.

$2 billion a year for 4 years. Ought to do it.

Then another $2 billion a year for 4 more years to replace the defective tanks we bought from China during the first 4 years, because we are too stupid to buy American.

[Vince Ferrer]

What’s the cost of this vs. a pipeline?

[FatherofFive]

I have a 65 year old hammer that still works.

[Dartman]

Five major derailments in Canada involving tank cars during the past 12 months. Build the pipeline.

[fwdude]

Whew!!! When they said "tank cars" I thought they meant like my 1970 Buick Estate Wagon.

It ain't phasing out anywhere.

The rail cars are getting around the pipeline ban so the rail cars have to be banned also.
