Railroad Statistics for Hazmat
• Over a million loads of hazardous materials are shipped via rail
• Ethanol is over a quarter of total number of hazmat shipments
• About three-quarters of the transportation of ethanol is conducted via rail
• Ethanol is over one percent of all railroad shipments

Brakes
• Hand– Holds the car in place
– Prevents the tank car from moving and possibly causing further damage at incident site or harm to a responder
• Air– If there is an incident, potential for a rapid release
of air causing the hose and fittings to strike a responder
