this was the third explosion in the past six months involving trains carrying crude oil from North Dakota.

In November, a 90-car train derailed in Alabama and a derailment in Quebec last July killed 47 people.

...As recently as 2008, 9,500 rail cars moved crude oil across the U.S, Tyson Slocum, the director of the Public Citizen’s Energy Program, told ABC News. By 2012, it was 230,000 rail cars.
