QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp Railroads can send information about haz-mat shipments to jurisdictions that the train will go through. This could be printed on the printout the responding fire engine/truck companies get. The problem would be what if a car goes out on the wrong train. I was given a train consist list a few years ago by a conductor. Some of the cars listed were not on the train.

To deal with the "amateur" who might take his soon to be legal again AK-45, and go tank car hunting, it is proposed to strengthing the cars. I don't know for sure, but I think there are no current orders for new tanks or battleships, so the supply of armour plate must be pretty good. Or at least, it will provide a nice new market for armour plate manufacturers. Any more good ideas out there? Jay

QUOTE: Originally posted by jeaton [brI realized then that placards aren't really needed!! Most of the tanks on the train had something in bold letters saying "liquidfied petroleum gas" or "corn oil" or words like that. Obviously, any HIGHLY TRAINED emergency responder would know that a leaking corn oil car would be extremly dangerous with the potential for arterial blockage, heart attack and stroke.
