Trains fascinate people of all ages.
But fascination can give way to
apprehension over the hazardous
cargo carried. A derailment can
mean disaster.
Even now, when lights flash and
bells ring at the rail crossing at Jersey
Street and Wellborn Road in College
Station, the potential for this kind of
disaster exists.
Most tank cars in a train have their
contents identified 6n the side in
large letters. Unlike the toy tankers
in the department store, which are
labeled only “milk” and “gas, these

turns and spills its contents, real dan
ger exists. Explosions, fires, and
poisonous fumes are among the pos
sibilities.
A 1977 study of railroad safety by
the Texas Transportation Institute
reported that, in 1974, 17 percent of
the nation’s chemical and allied pro
ducts which were shipped by rail ori
ginated in Texas. Additionally, state-
originated shipments of petroleum
and coal products comprised 29 per
cent of the national total.
In the same year, Texas was fourth
in the United States in number of
derailments, the study said.
“The potential for catastrophic
accidents from the movement of
hazardous materials in Texas is
among the highest in the nation,
given the large amount of chemical
and petrochemical shipments that
originate in Texas,” the report said.
A rail accident on the track para
lleling the western edge of the Texas
A&M University main campus
would be a real threat to the highly
concentrated University com
munity.
Although there have been no se
rious accidents involving hazardous
materials in this area, there have
been derailments and overturned
tank cars.
Capt. Elmer Schneider Jr., of the
University Police Department, re
membered two which happened in
Bryan.
“We’ve been lucky that they hap

He said University Police have re
