<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The biggest safety advantage of rail over pipeline is that while derailments are more common than pipeline failures, the derailments release less oil on average. So, generally, derailments are less catastrophic than pipeline failures. Indeed, this derailment only released four tank cars (sometimes called “tanker wagons”). So, the derailment proved the norm in terms of spill. But unfortunately, it more than made up for that by destroying a town. </span></p>
