Wrong problem
Idiot greenie protesters have been driving their SUVs hundreds of miles to protest railroad transport of oil. At the same time, of course, the same idiots are stopping pipelines, which would be the solution to the railroad problem.
Meanwhile, a REAL environmental problem that is ACTUALLY CAUSED by railroads goes unprotested and undiscussed. Every summer we get lots of wildfires around here. Some are caused by lightning. CAN'T do anything about that. Many are caused by sparks from hot boxes (dry bearings) on railroad cars. COULD do something about that. Railroads have always fought hot boxes in various ways, but it's clear that they're not fighting hard enough.
We don't need to remove oil from railroads, we need to add more oil to railroads.
