Paul_D_North_Jr If a LNG tanker blows up in the middle of nowhere Alaska, and no one hears it except the train crew - does it make a sound ?
Is this one of those 'when did you stop beating your wife' questions? In order to posit an LNG tanker blowing up in cold Alaska, you first have to demonstrate that an LNG tanker would explode at all. It won't. So no, it won't make a sound (aside from the whoosh of the pool fire ... and under cold conditions that might not be a very dramatic thing... ).
Balt, were you thinking of Hushaboom?

northeasterWhen you see photos of the heavy escorts surrounding LHG ships arriving in Boston Harbor and the incredible tanks holding this stuff at very low temps/high pressure, I wonder how these railroads are going to introduce the public to their carrying this product through their towns. I doubt if the equivalent of "oil trains" of LNG are going to be allowed.
What 'high pressure' are you referring to? Cryomethane is a liquid. You are thinking of CNG, which is a very different thing (or perhaps LPG with its relatively low boiling point and BLEVE hazard).
The public doesn't have much say in the matter, if it is interstate transport.

Alaska RR wants to transport LNG. But this article mentions UP which we knew + BNSF and FEC.
