Fossil Fuels by Rail

Oil by Rail

The shipping of Bakken crude oil through local recreation areas and sensitive ecosystems brings compounded threats of pollution plus serious public health and safety concerns for the communites in our watershed.

Coal by Rail

LPOW believes increased coal shipments through our watershed and its communities means bad news for people and water alike. From derailments to large increases in daily rail traffic, the threats are too great to ignore.
