Hazardous rail cargoes are rated a "high threat" to 62 U.S. urban areas, but federal agencies still refuse to let many firefighters, governments, and citizens know the rail routes used to transport cargoes that could kill tens or hundreds of thousands.

The story came out in an article by Jim Morris, published by the Sunlight Foundation April 16, 2010.
