LNG 'Bomb trains' should stop rolling on FEC tracks after appellate court's order
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
Federal judges have struck down President Trump’s first-term decision that led to rules allowing so-called “bomb trains” transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to roll through densely populated cities along the Florida East Coast Railway.
A coalition of environmental nonprofits, including Earthjustice and the Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida, 14 states and the District of Columbia and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians in western Washington state, sued the U.S. Department of Transportation in 2020, arguing that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) did not sufficiently consider the safety risks of transporting LNG by rail before reaching its decision.
