  • 5% of total U.S. freight rail carloads
  • 5% of tonnage
  • 6% of ton-miles
  • 68% of rail hazmat travels in tank cars
  • 28% on intermodal flat cars; the remainder in covered

hoppers, gondolas, and other car types

  • The most potentially hazardous materials, termed toxic

inhalation hazards (TIH) are nearly all transported in tank

  • cars. TIH materials constitutes only about 0.3 % of all rail
  • carloads. In 2012 TIH shipment declined about 15% as safer

alternatives are developed and transported.

As common carriers, railroads are required under federal law to move hazardous materials

Hazardous Materials Fatalities in Rail Incidents (1989-2006)

Virtually all are shipped without incident (99.998%)

Hazmat accident rates have declined by 90% since 1980 and nearly 50% since 1990

Moving hazardous materials by rail is 16 times safer than moving them on the roads

Railroads incurred 17 fatalities since 1989 while trucks average nearly 11 annually. BNSF had none.

Serious Incidents Rail and Truck (1989-2006)
