7 thoughts on “After Ohio derailment, Indy officials consider impact of potential downtown toxic spill

  1. Trains are limited to the track infrastructure. Consequently, the areas of greatest potential impact are indeed adjacent to railroad rights-of-way.

    It is quite odd that one states in that article that trucks along I-465 would have a more limited area impact. Trucks within the traffic stream would potentially impact adjacent drivers and severely disrupt the roadway network as well.

    1. Trains hold a lot more product than trucks. That’s the problem. One semi truck of hazardous material getting loose is almost a non-issue as far environmental health is concerned. An entire train of hazardous material getting loose is much more problematic.

    2. But several trucks are required comparable payloads. In any case, an integrated and safe(r) freight transport network is required. Trains are much more efficient in transporting large loads; trucks for ultimate distribution to myriad destinations. However, a platoon of trucks to transport what trains do well would not result in a insignificant environmental impact should an accident occur. Think, hazardous materials along a roadway that could flow into the storm drain network. The issue is that both trucks and trains are needed and one mode cannot replace the other entirely and maintain efficiency and effectiveness.

  2. “In 2022, there were more than 1,000 train derailments in the U.S. There were at least 1,164 train derailments across the country last year, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration. That means the country is averaging roughly three derailments per day.” – NPR
    I disagree about rare train derailments.

  3. As long as rail transportation falls under the Federal Governments, Department of Transportation you can expect mediocre results at best no matter which party is in office!

    1. Exactly also the repairs and maintenance of train cars has gone down in the name of profits and speed. More maintenance of trains = less revenue for the company.

  4. CSX cares nothing as about communities within which it operates. Just take a look at their bridges around Indianapolis; they’re falling apart and are terrible eyesores.
