Meanwhile, in North Dakota, senators want new rail-safety rules after a rash of accidents. "[C]oncerns over the safe transport of Bakken oil through the state and across the nation have escalated since a rail accident on Dec. 30 near Casselton, a bedroom community outside Fargo, when a train carrying crude crashed into another train carrying grain that had derailed. No one was hurt, but a fire burned for a day and it was the latest in a series of accidents, the most serious of which was a derailment and explosion in July of a runaway Canadian train that destroyed the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic and killed 47 people. A train carrying Bakken crude also derailed and exploded in Alabama in November." Clifford Krauss in The New York Times.
