[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan If I was BNSF I would make sure that in the future all intermodal customer disclose all hazmat related materials so they can make sure that if the customer didn't properly secure the contents than the railroad employees know what to beware of. I think though the customer should get sued if it is found that they were at fault. Surely the customer could get fined by the government for that if in fault. [/quote] This information is normally contained in the conductor's manifest on a road freight. As this was a yard, such paperwork is usually at the yard office so the employees involved likely had no way of knowing. If the customer failed to provide the information it could indeed be charged criminally and in a civil action. LC
