Oregon Bakken Crude Oil Reports Now on Internet


Oregon Bakken  Crude Oil Reports Now on Internet

 I wouldn't expect too much truthiness from this site, as the Railroad companies will lie and the Fire Marshall Department  think they can contain any problems which makes them part of the problem. Yeah Sure ,

Oregon State Fire Marshal - 07/08/14

The Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal, acting in its role as the State Emergency Response Commission, announced today that reports received from railroad companies on the movement of Bakken crude oil through Oregon are now available to the public. The agency announced last week that it would provide the reports through the OSFM website.

The OSFM has previously provided copies of these reports to local emergency response agencies in areas where trains carrying crude oil travel.



Railroad companies are required by federal law to notify counties prior to making any material changes in the estimated volumes or frequencies of trains traveling through a county. The United States Department of Transportation considers an increase or decrease of 25 percent or more in the number of implicated trains per week to be a material change.

The railroad reports are available at:
