loaded with crude oil from the Upper Midwest. While railroads have
long carried hazardous materials through congested urban areas, cities are
now scrambling to formulate emergency plans and to train firefighters amid
the latest safety threat: a fiftyfold increase in crude shipments that critics say
has put millions of people living or working near the tracks at heightened risk
of derailment, fire and explosion. After a series of fiery crashes, The Associated Press conducted a survey
of nearly a dozen big cities that, collectively, see thousands of tank cars each

restoration work designed to reduce the risk of fires.
That's happened in six of the past 10 years, Vilsack said. Vilsack said further
transfers are likely and the agency expects to continue spending about $200 million per week on fire suppression during the coming weeks. SeeWildfires /A4
