This looks bad for the area, it was reported they did a "controlled" explosion on some RR tankers.

When I was doing Environmental, we sent a lot of contaminated soils to PA and Ohio.
Been watching it on the news the last hour. There was so much smoke it was crazy made it look like evening time. Sorry for the sideway pic

Hope they get this fire under control.
they stated that it will burn for about 3 hours. They dug trench next to the rail cars and used small explosives to put 2 to 3 inch holes in the cars to slowly leak out. If the did not do this they cars would have eventually exploded.Originally Posted by yatesville88fan

Welcome to Precision Schedule Railroading
I heard Hobo Shoestring mention that trains are assembled with buffer cars between engines and explosive tankers for the crews safety.
Management evidently expects these accidents to happen.
Risky times for rail hobo's.
This derailment happened 25 miles south of East Palestine recently. (East coast trash.)
Bad day in the neighborhood.
