AFter the WVa accident, politicians are calling for tighter regulations on oil   
   trains, especially those passing through populated areas.  They want more   
   inspectors and stronger cars (the recent accident had the newest stronger   
   design, and the train was    
   moving slow).   
      
   The Bakun oil has highly flammable gases that are more present in this oil   
   than in other types of crudes.  It seems that the best solution would be to   
   pre-process the oil to remove those gases.  Several months ago Trains Magazine   
   did a detailed report on    
   this.
