QUOTE: Originally posted by ironken I think we are doin a darn good job of transporting hazmat....I think the numbers are like 99.8 or 99.9% moved without any incident. I would really like to know the numbers for hiway transported hazmat goods. Annother thing to consider is when we move the hazmat, alot of our trackage is in the middle of nowhere. You don't have to worry about a tank full of hazmat rolling up next to you at the local truckstop to top off his fuel tanks.

QUOTE: Originally posted by csxengineer98 just think of the other side of the coin... worried about 1 train load HAZMAT..but dose the artical go into detail how how many trucks it will be putting on the roads to transport the same amount of product that 1 railroad tank car carries? thier is going to be risk in eveything..and in every form of transportation... its called life... but what is more risk..on train..or a few hundered trucks.. each with thier own drivers..on a system where thier are thousands of other outside infulences (other drivers)... all that this argument dose is try to shift resonsiblity from one from of transportation to another... csx engineer
