COLLINSVILLE –(ENEWSPF)—May 29, 2015. In response to safety concerns raised by the rapid increase of trains carrying volatile crude oil and ethanol across the country, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today stood with local mayors and first responders to call for stronger safety measures to strengthen tank cars and prevent derailment. He discussed two bills he’s cosponsoring in the Senate that impose safety measures that expand on the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)’s final tank car rules released earlier this month.
