Generally when rail cars crash it takes out 6-20 cars at 210,000 gallons each.. The pipeline acted like it was supposed to. When the in flow didn't match out flow by 100 gallons and line pressure drops it shuts down. There are pumps, valves, pressure and flow monitors every 25 miles so they can pinpoint the leak point quickly and isolate it. Residual oils in the pipe will leak due to gravity so this spill is miniscule in all aspects as compared to rail car crashes..And rail car spills are worse for the environment and happens more.
So, I dare ask, what was the point in your sarcasm?
A rail car can't spill 210,000 gallons, and Keystone was touted as the safe against spills.
