Adding a bit more. Most do not realize that the location of Lakeside Asphalt near Junction City as you come into Aberdeen is the old Standard Oil ( I think Standard ) tank site as when I was a kid oil came in by TANKER and was stored on site in a tank. Add to that the chemicals for the pulp mills did and do come in by truck and rail and believe me many of them are really hazardous. Lord a leak at the Cosy mill sets of alarms to evac all around Cosy. Had to do the dash to a safe area more than once when the alarm went off along with a lot of Cosy folk.

Everything we do in modern society carries risk. Now risk is one thing but Russian roulette with old tracks with and a cargo that can and will explode if it derails is something different. The word stupid comes to mind.
