Comment EI-32310
Received or sent (printed as 9/26/2022)
As evidenced by this proposed acquisition, the increase of volume of oil shipped by rail occurs because of the rail industry’s ability to quickly respond to increased oil production by modifying routes, adding cars, etc. However as history has showed us, this increase in oil transport via railways has also increased oil spill incidents involving trains. It is necessary to put a cap on the amount of oil transported via railway. Therefore the board should deny the proposed acquisition and protect the environment and the public before lining the pockets of the applicants.
