I thought only Lionel did that. [swg]

At a recent wreck in which a number of tank cars were involved, this trailer was part of the first response. Fortunately the tank cars were empty. You can just see the windsock behind the lamp post.

A: The people closest to it. One or few will gag and stumble about and drop. Anyone near will realize there is a problem and start to scatter. Maybe if the problem is detected a general alarm is raised vocally then by PA system followed by telephone/celluar calls out.

I am trained not to turn back and respond to cries for help no matter how pitiful they are. I leave that to the Rescue folks who should have the proper equiptment.

B: Wind is important but land height is even more important, you want to try and go up hill away from low lying areas.

part B depends on what commdity is spilled… first things first in a leak…run upwind first
