LYNCHBURG, Virginia -- Several train cars carrying crude oil derailed and
caught fire Wednesday along the James River in Virginia, with three black
tankers ending up in the water and leaking some oil.
.
It is the most recent crash involving oil trains that has safety experts
pushing for better oversight.

Three or four of the tankers were breached on the train that railroad
company CSX said was on its way from Chicago to unspecified destination.
Most of the cars were knocked off the tracks.

Concern about the safety of oil trains was heightened last July when
runaway oil train derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, near the
Maine border. Forty-seven people died and 30 buildings were incinerated.
Canadian investigators said the combustibility of the 1.3 million gallons
of light, sweet Bakken crude released in Lac-Megantic was comparable to
gasoline.
.
"This is another national wake-up call," said Jim Hall, a former NTSB
chairman said of the Lynchburg crash. "We have these oil trains moving all
across the United States through communities and the growth and
distribution of this has all occurred, unfortunately, while the federal
regulators have been asleep."
.
"This is just an area in which the federal rulemaking process is too slow
to protect the American people," he said.
.
There have been eight significant oil train accidents in the U.S. and
Canada in the past year involving trains hauling crude oil, including
several that resulted in spectacular fires, according to the safety board.
.
Lynchburg city manager Kimball Payne said about 50,000 gallons of oil were
missing from the tankers, but fire officials were unsure how much had
burned up and how much had spilled into the water.
