Jul 6 - VIGIL: BOMB TRAINS Noon Erie Federal Bldg "Crude Oil Trains = Bomb Trains. 32 of these bomb trains go through Erie every week. The bomb trains that I have seen on the tracks near Iroquois Ave., or going over the train trestle at 16th and Ash, seem to have at least 100 tanker cars. Each tanker car holds 30,000 gallons of highly combustible crude oil. Four trains hauling crude oil have derailed in the U.S. and Canada since mid-February, rupturing tank cars, spilling their contents, polluting waterways and igniting spectacular fireshat burned for days. The derailments have deepened safety concerns that if an oil-train accident were to occur in a populated area, the results could be disastrous. These trains do run through populated areas in Erie." Event hosted by Erie Benedictines for Peace.
