Here is a link to an article about a meeting to be held "to discuss ways to reduce of the risk of train cars carrying oil catching fire or exploding.". http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2015 ... ar_sa.html
The article claims that "dozens of trains pass through the city carrying crude oil each month". I'm wondering if this is true. I also suspect that the trains passing through Jersey City are traveling at much lower speed and therefore have a much lower chance of rupturing the tanks than the other derailments and fires which have caught public attention.
