As New Shipping Rules Are Studied, Another Oil Train Derails
In the latest accident involving rail cars carrying crude oil, a CSX
train derailed and erupted into black, smoky flames on Wednesday in
downtown Lynchburg, Va., forcing scores of people to evacuate and
causing a spill in the James River.
Hours
later, the Transportation Department said that a long-awaited package
of rules aimed at improving the safety of oil transport by rail had been
sent Wednesday night to the White House for review.
