To answer the question about how much toxic chemicals travel on the rails everyday,well figure in pounds,one railroad tanke car can hold 282,000 pounds of chemicals,how many tank cars a day,roughly your have a ball park figure guesstimate let's say 48 States
50,000 railcars a day ×'s 282,000 pounds a car,that's just astronomical and the problems are potentially greater in size of how many cars are ,if you have more than a 100 cars being pulled by on engine accident will happen with such risks,the longer the train caravan the greater the impact on axles and wheel bearings,this creates friction and that creates heat,without proper maintenance program such pressure points shorten the life expectancy of those critical parts,the safest practice is to reduce the train size to 30 car caravans and use two engines not one,
