Yes, West has those things as a potential disaster - hopefully the railroad track's better maintained and they don't operate trains the same way than what they did though Lac Mégantic.

However I meant a more open: if it's occurred at x, hopefully they can do better at preventing y and if it gets to z, but with what BA posted I'm thinking it's likely that it's going to take something like three such event's, before they even contemplate a solution. Yet, if going by the 'disaster porn' History/Discovery put out -that I've seen- aren't we all ready up to or past event two for ammonium nitrate in Texas?

Rod, there are fertilizer storage facilities where there are farming communities. They would be common enough in the U.S. where you can look at the phone book. The ones at risk is where they store at least 500 pounds or more IIRC of the stuff and no sprinkler systems.
