But are they always hiding the fact that they are carrying dangerous chemicals? It’s been reported that this train should have declared dangerous chemicals which requires reduced speed of train and notification to jurisdictions it’s going through. But they did not?
I’ve been contemplating that same thing and wondering of the historic annual amounts of derailments what’s the average of those that contain hazardous materials? One question always leads to 10 more.
The problem is they did not explain what a derailment is. A derailment is when a railcar wheel drops off a track. 98% plus of all derailments are caused by misaligned switches. In addition, most occur under 2 or 3 mph.
