The Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing this Thursday 2/13 to investigate crude oil and ethanol shipments by rail. Ironically Senator Jay Rockefeller (wealth came from Standard Oil) calls railroads, energy shippers, car manufacturers /owners / lessors and FRA and PHMSA to present. You will see some changes in tank car design, classification of some crude oil as a flammable liquid, etc. in the near future.
