But they park these on tracks all over the place. Always have. Not saying ya shouldn't be aware, but it's a common sight where I live, 50 yards from tracks.
Anything and everything that gets transported by rail. Probably hazardous chemicals. One can use the internet to find out the rail car type, and deduce further. But that’s about it.
Yes, there are hundreds or thousands of special regulations for transporting hazardous materials.
And the companies that have to pay more to transport their hazardous materials don't like those regulations. Because, profits.
So they fight against those types of regulations that are (supposedly) to make transportation of these materials safer.
And when regulations are relaxed, more incidents (not going to say "accident" because I'm tired of the "There are no coincidences!" argument) occur like the one in OH.
You also have dishonest shippers that don't properly declare hazmat cargo so they don't have to pay the premium. I've seen it happen with ocean imports. Asked Coast Guard about it and was told we have to go with what the shipper declared; even though other shippers of same cargo declared it as hazmat.
So you want railways that don't go through rural or suburban/urban areas?
I'm interested in what rail line you can find that follows those limitations.
Or one that could be made. For destinations all over the country.
Maybe you could work one out?
Been thinking about this, and short of applying eminent domain I really don't know how you're going to accomplish making rail lines all around the country that avoids farmland and people. So, land grab, anyone?

They ARE parked all over the place, and they may be full…of what? Perhaps we should be looking into this.

Yep, there are also 1000 derailments PER YEAR!

What did I say about using that type of talk around here?
You know how many people are clicking deport on your ass right now?
Nevermind, guessing you do, which is why you're using an alt identity.
