Reply to comment by shogun221 in PA Gov Shapiro Critical of Norfolk Southern Train Derailment by hahahoudini

Is the a pipeline vs train comment?

I don’t know much about either side of the argument, but just guessing here… I imagine maintaining a rail system is cheaper, easier, and less disruptive than maintaining a pipeline.

I have doubts about either method being maintained though.

I think it's more a comment on the headline. Who isn't critical of a train derailment causing a chemical spill?

Rail system uses existing rails whereas the pipelines are essentially put in nilly-willy and in too large a number. Scarring up Penn's Woods.

And sometimes both go boom.
