Original Note:
This tweet is in reference to the Feb 2023 derailment in Palestine, Oh. Rule cited applies to DOT 117 non pressurized tank cars. The Ohio derailment were DOT 105 pressurized tank cars. In addition there is video of the train having problems 20 miles prior so braking is moot. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ohio-train-derailment-video-sparks-flames-well-before/
