[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by mudchicken</i> <br /><br />Why NS? Consignee of the car has been sitting on the car for 9 months. All NS did was lease track storage space to the consignee to avoid demurage. Railroad did as expected, railcar performed as expected, car is venting because of chemical reaction caused by chemical stabilizer wearing off and heating-up the lading. Go after the consignee/ plastics company for poor product material management.

The tank belongs to the Westlake Styrene Co., of Sulfur, La. Neither the rail nor the car are affiliated with Norfolk Southern rail line.[/quote] <br /> <br />Looks like NS is off the hook, good! <br /> <br />Now this line I liked [^] <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Luken said when he called the company, "they just go 'humina humina.'"[/quote] <br /> <br />Typical over-reaction though, notice the photo of the women, like she has lost a family memebr, sheez!, it's a tank car that will probably get vented and moved.
