Fight could be looming over secrecy of oil shipments by rail

Matt Landon, a co-founder of the group and a Vancouver resident, said his group has established some fairly consistent patterns: The trains heading to the refineries use one route and the empty cars get sent back via another. There’s at least one train every day.

Landon said his group posts its observations on Twitter so that neither emergency responders nor anyone else has to wait for notification from the railroad or the state.

“This allows the public to be involved in risk assessment,” he said.
