People not in the industry just don’t know how dangerous half the stuff is. My plant site keeps 50-60 NH3 and Cl2 railcars on-site st all times. If just one of those has a catastrophic failure, 30000 people east of Houston are dead at a minimum.

We called propane, butane, all kinds of "ane" loads bombs.

The REALLY bad ones are not the bombs though. Think 100 tons of anhydrous ammonia released in a city.
100 tons is just one carload.

And to think I use to work a local that switched the chemical plant in Sterlington back in the day. We'd get about 12 cars of ammonium out of there five days a week and bring back to Monroe on a ten mph track because of poor track conditions and I might add right thru the middle of town.

fricking idiots. They don't want natural gas on a train, but don't say shite about millions of gallons of propane, chlorine and acids being shipped daily along the rails.

There is a lot of cyanide rolling around on rail every day.

We all joke about 4-d chess but the God Emperor has just maneuvered the Demonrats into supporting more pipeline construction.
That's nine inches of zugzwang, baby.

Any mention yet of barge traffic?
LNG barge or freighter is a tactical nuke.
Hell - the sensors on top of LSU vet school spike from voc’s If a large tow goes by just from the normal exhaust vents.

Ship natural gas by rail? I would strongly recommend we not do that.

Put the gas on a train from Texas, put the illegals on it and ship it to the sanctuary cities in NY. They need gas and those illegals love riding on the top of trains...its a win win.
That would be so awesome. And they could paint the train to look like this...

The libs don't want pipeline, they don't want trucks, they don't want rail. They think we can "science" our way into moving tons of fuels across the country while we simulatneously readjust the earth's temperature......but we can't figure out a way to get voter id's for black people or stop millions of migrants from invading the border.

So libs love pipelines now?
Posted on 4/13/19 at 9:43 am to Tbonepatron
Bingo, I’m in industry As well and I know there has been a push to no longer ship ethane by rail. Pipeline is the way better option.

Where do you suggest it be stored for the safety of those 30,000?

A few years ago back in a town not far from my own hometown a freight train carrying some really dangerous stuff derailed right in the middle of town. It was an absolute disaster. There was fatalities and a dangerous cloud of lethal gas spread across neighborhoods. Actually it was (I believe) a valid miracle the death toll was not way higher.
Let me say without hesitation, I am opposed to the shipping of any LPG product by railroad. Given that your pal Barack Hussein Obama was successful in allowing Islamic terrorist to migrate to this country I believe shipping dangerous LPG gases (or lethal chemicals) by train presents an easy and inviting target to radical Islamic terrorist. Shipping LPG in small trucks to fill propane tanks in a backyard is quite different than shipping lethal gases by rail. Care to guess which one would make the bigger boom?
I'm listening?

To be fair, if your dick is small enough that you can shove it into an electrical socket, suicide seems like a pretty viable option.
I don’t think I’d off myself via electrocution, but I can’t blame the dude for wanting to go out.

You really should visit this site more often before throwing shite against the wall.
If you're going to use the "half the town blew up and killed people" argument than I suppose you're an advocate of doing away with air travel also? Not only do people die in the plane but in some cases so do people on the ground.

LNG, methane is not much different than ethane, propane, butane which are already shipped by rail. Difference is it must be kept at a subzero temperature to keep the pressure low enough for the tank. If left on a siding too long, safety valves will release the pressure causing a vapor release of climate change gas
