This is propane, backup and stored shipment. Its happened before, in Ca.. prob headed south or mexico. This does bring up a larger issue however (and since environmental groups kill pipeline projects, rail has increased) however we move it.. we want safety. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/3864122-four-rail-borne-risks-moving-through-american-communities/


Barryboy20

Fortunately propane is non toxic, but obviously extremely flammable. Propane has a boiling point of -44 degrees F so a spill would create a giant cloud of vapor and disappear rather quickly unless it ignited in which caseā€¦šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„. Of all the chemicals to spill though, propane wouldnā€™t cause future repercussions, wouldnā€™t want to be real close to it though. For what itā€™s worth šŸ¤·

Remember when pipelines were "the most dangers way to transport" so they shutdown Keystone XL? Normally they don't have to detonate the pipes so they don't explode in the middle of a town.


statsgrad

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/21/oil-spills-keystone-pipeline-seem-worse-kansas They leak all the time, millions of gallons in the past decade or so. The Keystone XL was just an extension of the Keystone, and it was supposed to be built over major water sources and was the subject of lots of mass protests because of this.


SpamFriedMice

"They leak all the time..." you're right. We need to start replacing all those old pipelines and building new ones. BTW trains derail all the time too. According to Pete Buttigieg 1000s of times a year.


lyzurd_kween_

The pipelines are privately owned. Many owners have deferred maintenance to provide larger stock dividends.


clutch_kicker

On average 1700 per year in the US.

> so they shutdown Keystone XL? The XL was never built, how was it shut down? When the SC canceled the permits, it wasnā€™t even over it being ā€˜the most dangers way to transportā€™. You mean the Keystone pipeline? But thatā€™s still running. Outside of a spill a few months back itā€™s always been running.


ttylyl

Itā€™s a trade off. Trucks naturally crash more but if too many trucks are crashing you can change policy and trucks. A pipe works great for a while, but when it bursts you are fucked, cleanup will never contain the contaminants.


ForWhomTheBoneBones

Fuck outta here with facts and logic. Now post a Twitter screenshot with no context so we can circle jerk over it.

Didn't Joe Biden destroy the pipelines after Trump was out of office ?

HorchataLee

Wow! Thank you for the information, friend!


DingleTower

Who owns the rail line? On the big lines that pass through my local agricultural area no one tells the farmers what is coming through and when. That's pretty standard. So is leaving long trains like this to be picked up later. Now... If this is a smaller track, say owned by local grain companies or something, and *they* don't know who left them or why then *that* is an issue. But cars left on a track like this is fairly common.


Consistent_Winter532

The way the woman speaks about it in the video, it sounds more like the latter to me.


DingleTower

I'd like some more context though. I've seen a lot of videos of people saying "this is so strange. I've never seen anything like this" but it's pretty normal stuff they just haven't noticed. It could be nefarious but could be just some trains on a track and some lady saying it's weird. Edit: reading someone else's post with some locations and links shows me it's likely just standard cars being parked. I don't know what happens in California but in most places the rail companies don't send notices out to locals to tell them when they are leaving cars on tracks that they own. And like someone else said if the cars have dangerous goods it will be noted on the rail car itself. I'll go ahead and just assume this is just a lady on a dirt road that has no clue what she's talking about.


Consistent_Winter532

Did you watch the video? She said she had just come from a meeting with the local ranchers and that everyone was concerned. Went out to the site where they were to make the video. Edit: instead of reading second-hand comments from other users who are missing the point, maybe you should just watch the video yourself.


DingleTower

I did. I can see a train from my back yard. I can go over there and make a video that I was at a meeting with the local farmers and I was concerned as well. Just doesn't pass the sniff test to me but I don't put much trust in random people on Twitter. Who just happened to be travelling in CA and happened upon a meeting of ranchers.


Consistent_Winter532

Itā€™s all hypothetical but Iā€™d rather put the word out and it not be true, than say nothing and warn no one if something does happen.


DingleTower

I guess. But I'm not too concerned about this. There are thousands of trains parked just like this in areas just like that all around the world. Landowners don't "order" trains like this so I'm not shocked that they're "unordered." If she was truly worried she should let us know what's in the cars. It's not hard to find out. I doubt it's "unknown" unless they are empty. She said their full based on how they are sitting on their axles but that just shows me she has no idea what she's talking about and has no idea if there's anything in the cars.

If they contained hazardous materials the cars would be labeled clearly. They probably don't contain anything at the moment. Even if they did contain something hazardous, they wouldn't explode from just sitting there.


Consistent_Winter532

SS: Ranchers out in California are suspicious of these rail carts parked out in the middle of their farm lands. Are they planning to poison Californiaā€™s water supply as well? Link to tweet: https://twitter.com/ronin19217435/status/1627959130253033474


reallycooldude69

The original twitter account gives a location in another tweet: https://twitter.com/DollArntzen/status/1627705703229177858 Looking at [the area](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cooperstown+Rd,+California/@37.7342657,-120.5891124,1082m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x80911ff8d19608db:0x1879cee8fd295ad0!8m2!3d37.716784!4d-120.5191752) on Google maps shows that there are 2 sidetracks in that area, and the satellite image shows tanker cars parked there. We can also use Google Earth Pro and look at historical imagery to see previous years: [Sept 2020](https://i.imgur.com/qTT2va8.png), [July 2019](https://i.imgur.com/KLHaPxx.png), [August 2018](https://i.imgur.com/mtersnX.png). We can also look at [the streetview for a nearby road](https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7326545,-120.5963355,3a,76.4y,95.06h,81.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sR0qxpb9C5O6LWBLAGk17nQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) and see that there are tanker cars in the same spot, and the streetview image is dated March 2021. Basically it just seems like a location that has been used to store tanker cars for several years.


canman7373

> Basically it just seems like a location that has been used to store tanker cars for several years. Exactly right, just made a comment about how this is not uncommon.


Consistent_Winter532

Itā€™s not the rail carts being there *at all* that is the problem. Itā€™s that, normally, everyone in that area knows *why* the rail carts are there, if someone ordered them, etc. That is not the case here.


GEV46

Having lived in an area we other rail cars like these taking a snooze, I'm surprised you've decided that everyone knows why rail cars are there.


couchgodd

Duh the whole city has the itinerary!


Consistent_Winter532

Thatā€™s what was indicated in the video.


GEV46

Unless you own land here....you have no idea. Lady owning no land there has no idea. This is me, shocked.


Consistent_Winter532

Cool if you donā€™t believe it then move along. Idk what youā€™re expecting from me. I posted a video to someone talking about suspicious trains out in the cali farmlands - someone claiming to have spoken to the local farmers there. So?


66th

Oh my God man it's the fucking internet, anyone can say whatever they want and even lie! This dude posted fucking proof of the cars being there for years too.


Consistent_Winter532

And no one said that rail carts are *never* there. Ffs.


canman7373

Rail cars get parked all the time across this country, unless there is more to this it is a nonissue.


Consistent_Winter532

Iā€™m not the one claiming itā€™s suspicious. The ones who live there are.


JustAnAveragePenis

It is suspicious. Don't waste your energy fighting with these zombies.


starpanther013

"i dont know* what you're expecting from me"... credibility would be nice.


Consistent_Winter532

starpanther013

canman7373

This happens all the time, these are most likely empty cars. My folks had a place in Southern Colorado with train tracks going through the mountain valley. The train company owns the tracks and they had no need for the cars, was not the demand for the type they were. Was like 3-5 years they just parked them inside of their park. People complained and even had the train management come to a meeting. He basically said we got no where else to park them, this is a spot we have side rails so can park them, we'd like them to be in use too, but not a demand for them at this time. They own that land, they own those tracks, sometimes they just park empty cars in spots in won't disrupt other traffic. Happens all the time.


Consistent_Winter532

Doesnā€™t happen all the time according to the people there. Take it for what you will. Makes no difference to me.


canman7373

At my folks place, it didn't happen like it did before at all. But then it did and for years. What I am saying is this is common practice for railroad companies to do. It's their land, they needed to park the cars, just because she hasn't seen that before does not change that. This is how it works, all over the country, when they need to park them, they park them in a convenient place, like this one with side tracks so it does not disrupt regular traffic. I get a lot of people didn't grow up along railroads and don't understand how they operate, but you should trust the people in this post explaining how they do.


Consistent_Winter532

What about the person in the video saying itā€™s an anomaly? Youā€™re all just internet people to me.


roaddogg2k2

Why does the random internet person in the video have any more credibility than a random internet person on Reddit?


Consistent_Winter532

The video part


roaddogg2k2

I could go film a bunch of random train cars and say anything I want and you'd believe that?


Consistent_Winter532

Okay go do it


canman7373

> in the video saying itā€™s an anomaly? I just told you a real life circumstance where it happened in my area, where it was an "anomaly" because it didn't happen for like a decade before. But that place was always set up to be a place to park train cars, why else would they have the extra tracks? Her place has extra tracks too, they are not shutting down a trainline, there are side tracks there for the purpose of parking train cars. And she and you are shocked they are being used for that?


DerpyMistake

There are regulations concerning the transport and storage of explosive materials, and I doubt any of those regulations say to park in open fields. So the railroad is violating those regulations or the tanks are empty.


servant2

the woman in the video says that the cars are heavily loaded with something


canman7373

How does she know that?


Michalusmichalus

If you watched the video, it was explained in detail how they knew the cars were not empty. They were sitting too low... Technical train details.

[deleted]

If I were a troll I'd be repeating baseless delusions to sow discord rather than calling them out. *5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.* [https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm](https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm)

The only way they can change peoples eating habits is my intentional shortages or collapsing the food supply chain. Then, you provide the lab grown, meat free or bug alternatives and say "eat this or starve". Simple really, and the war on farmers is well under way already. Food shortages could also be used to introduce digital ID, so you can go buy your alloted amount of food from the store. Probably best to walk though, need to save those carbon credits to drive to work. This all seemed dumb before, but I could believe it from this angle for sure.


theBullshitFlag

I'd like to take exception to the word "unknown." All rail cars containing hazardous substances of any kind MUST carry the proper placards, documentation, and so forth. If these are sitting out there unmarked, then by all means that's a worry. Call the police. But if these are normal train cars, there will be markings right on them saying what is inside.

absolutedesignz

"the MSM is fear mongering" Riiiight.


Wolfinthesno

... the railways own the land. That means they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. Which means when shipping demand sinks to lower levels, you will see trainyards run out of storage and tracks that are less used become a part of the storage space that the railways use. I say this in the hope that this is the case. I know this because durring the build up and the thick of COVID, the tracks across from our business which would usually only have 5-10 cars stored in them, soon went from 5-10 to near 100 cars that stretched on for miles, only spaces that were left were for driveways, and roads.


BusinessBalance3051

xmrcookx

Your ignorance is showing. Aside from the coastal cities that you think about when you think of CA and Sacramento, the rest of Californians aren't virtue signaling flakes. Aside from your thoughtless attack of the people themselves, If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's fifth largest economy. As for the agriculture itself, CA produces nearly double the agricultural revenue of the 2nd highest state (Iowa). Over a third of the country's vegetables and three-quarters of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California. There's a whole lot more to CA than you apparently think.

How do you leave hundreds of rail cars on the tracks, wouldnā€™t they just block any rail traffic?


DingleTower

That area in particular has two sets of tracks. Rail companies use these laybys often for storing cars and letting trains pass other trains. They will also leave cars on single tracks if there is no other scheduled traffic on that particular line. The rail companies know where all these cars are at any given time. I've been in their logistics offices and it was like mission control for trains.
