Johnson quoted on safety threat of oil-hauling trains
The Heinz Endowments' Philip Johnson alerted more than 100 people attending an oil train safety conference Friday in Oakland that a five-car train hauling crude oil had derailed in suburban Philadelphia.
Although no one was hurt and no oil spilled in the early morning accident, Johnson, Heinz's program director for science and environment, said: “It's important that we continue to push hard for ways to prevent incidents like this.”
