If you ever saw the movie "The Perfect Storm" you got to see the results of heavy seas on a container ship. I read somewhere that the worst example of lost containers during a storm was 300+ containers that went overboard, doing some serious damage to the ship as well as causing some real navigation hazards. A lot of the containers float, and can do so for years. I understand that a floating container just under the surface of the water can do a lot of damage to a boat or ship, and that they are almost impossible to detect. To get back to railroading, though... I wonder if there are special rules governing hazardous materials in containers? Are they required to be placarded and isolated from non hazardous materials on intermodal trains the way some HAZMAT loads are isolated on mixed freights (read in TRAINS one month where an empty car had to precede and follow a HAZMAT load)?
