Neglected Bridges & Exploding Trains
Waterkeeper Alliance, Riverkeeper, ForestEthics and a national network of Waterkeeper organizations released a new investigative report today exploring the condition of our nation’s rail infrastructure. From July – September 2015, Waterkeepers from across the country boarded their patrol boats and documented the structural integrity of 250 railway bridges along known and potential routes of explosive oil trains, capturing the state of this often neglected infrastructure in their communities.
