Today at about 4P, I observed a first for me - a WB unit train @ BNSF Chicago Sub MP 18.22 consisting of LPG and Graziano placarded 1075.

I have seen single shipments of cars so placarded, but never a unit train of such. WB, the cars appeared to be under load.

So one must wonder; is handling LPG in unit trains simply an operational change on BNSF, or is this a new source of traffic for the industry?

Enquiring mind wants to know.

Agent R. M. Grazziano, issuer of the Tariff regarding classifying and handling of HAZMAT. It is known within the industry as Grazzino's Tariff - or at least when I was in the industry 1970-81.
