#1 Since trains seem to be a favorite target for terrorists, I thought it a little odd over the number of US incidents in just the last few days. Chicago, Boston, Mississippi, and now another tanker car with hydrochloric acid leaking is reported in Omaha, after the one in Louisiana previously. Hazmat crews have evacuated the neighborhood but professionals from Arkansas are flying in, when this is the HQ of Union Pacific. I hope Homeland security hasn't overlooked an obvious weak spot in lieu of threats.
