@Box Ox @vantexan "the railways are safe"

I don’t know how my wanting you to be able to drive home without falling asleep after 8 hours of work constitutes a defense of railways.

Raymond, Minnesota, train derailment: Cars carrying ethanol rupture and ignite. Now 4 more cars with highly flammable material could spill | CNN

"A train hauling ethanol derailed Thursday morning in Raymond, Minnesota, igniting several rail cars and forcing a mandatory evacuation of the city of about 800, officials said.

The fire was still burning more than 8 hours after the derailment, the US Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement late Thursday morning.

“Four cars containing ethanol, a highly flammable product, ruptured, caught fire and continue to burn,” said the EPA, which had members at the scene by 6:30 a.m.

And there’s a risk that more ethanol could spill.

“Four additional cars containing ethanol may also release,” the EPA said. “The local fire department is currently the lead for the response and ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city. The evacuation remains in place.”

The EPA team is on the ground in Raymond to conduct air quality monitoring.

Preliminary information suggests 14 of the train’s 40 cars were carrying hazardous material, “including ethanol, which was released – leading to a fire,” US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told CNN on Thursday."

Railroad train crews are essentially on call 24/7/365 and can work 84 hours per week. You usually only know when you’re going to work based on a 2 hour notification. Crew fatigue is a big issue and a major factor in many incidents.
The Class 1 railroads are pushing for 2-man crews, which is really dumb and dangerous. That means Republicans support it.

Ethanol is the worst crap ever invented. I wish it would all disappear. The last I heard it cost about $1.30 to make a dollars worth of it. It's HIGHLY subsidized. It also drives food prices up because it uses so much corn to make it.
