We never want to hear BNSF derailment 'show'

| April 14, 2015 7:00 AM

Two more trains recently derailed, one in Valley Hills, Texas, and the other near Hudson, Colo.

The Texas derailment of 12 tank cars dumped industrial solvent dimethylformamide, which if inhaled, will cause nausea and vomiting. More than 7,000 gallons of the flammable liquid spilled from one car but it was contained and posed no threat, however, several homes had to be evacuated.
