Guys and gals,
1) See something, say something. We all have cell phones, and 911 is a three digit phone call. If you frequent a particular line, get to know the local dispatch numbers along the line.
2) You are thinking in terms of passenger rail. I promise you, there are urban areas where the right hazardous material in the right freight car becomes a Cold War era "weapon of mass destruction" in the sense that I as someone from the Army understand it. DOT hazmat placards are easy to read.
3) Constant vigilance is a worthy watchword.
