      It makes for a nice accompaniment to wild fire season.

    possible hazardous materials

    And we’ll never have the answer since everything good in the government got cut. People are either going to have never existed or will die from democrat diseases.

      The public officials seem to believe there are hazardous materials on those cars, and Union Pacific even sent their own HazMat team to the site. Carriers keep extensive records of what the cargo is, where, and how much. After an incident, not making that information immediately and freely available to the public is unacceptable and irresponsible.

      Shame on Union Pacific, these local officials, and the state and fed for not mandating transparency.

    Four railroads have asked federal appeals courts to throw out a new rule that would require two-person train crews in most circumstances, saying the mandate is arbitrary, capricious and an illegal abuse of discretion.

    Was it carrying passengers to a destination outside of Texas?
