   The volume of tanker trains has exploded since 2013. Any Metra passenger can   
   count the number of oil trains parked in yards or passing on adjacent tracks.   
   Before, BNSF ran mostly coal trains and some tanker cars mixed in with other   
   freight cars in trainsets. No need to pass within 2 miles of Sears Tower, EJE   
   loops around the populated suburbs.
