Five years ago, U.S. trains transported just 9,500 carloads of oil, the association said. The number grew to 65,751 carloads in 2011 before jumping 256 percent last year, to 233,811 carloads.
The mile-long trains bound for the Irving Oil refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick, travel two routes through Maine, typically pulling 80 to 85 tank cars.
Comments
And by millions of gallons, it seems they mean hundreds of millions of gallons ("more than 220 million gallons").
Also, I find this part interesting:
Compare that with this version of the story:
Personally, although 3 gallons isn't much compared to millions, and I can even imagine some poetic license in saying that it's "measured in drips", I cannot and will not extend them the benefit of the doubt when they say "it likely was residue that had spilled onto the seals of a couple of tank car covers when the cars were filled."
