I always thought that crude was this thick fluid, difficult to ignite. I used to work for Conrail. It seems odd that so many of the tank cars would rupture, even if they were single-walled. Derailments on the main lines are extremely rare. Usually derailments are slow motion things that happen in the yards due to split switches or on old sidings due to tie rot. Most main line is relatively new welded rail with fresh ties.
Just seems odd to dump 19 cars before coming to a halt.
