The ignorance of the masses regarding the dangers of transporting LNG borders on criminal. For those who look at facts before making decisions, here's a few:
What AKRR and ADN fail to mention is that when the 12 tons of LNG evaporates, it very quickly becomes an enormous, highly combustible vapor cloud, which if ignited can be very dangerous. 12 tons LNG = 584,510 cubic feet natural gas.

https://goo.glxFRHKD, X 2 = 288 tons TNT. The resulting fire from ignition is hot enough to melt steel and will cause 2nd degree burns up to a mile away. Oh, and by the way, once started, that fire cannot be extinguished until it burns itself out. https://goo.gl/3wDRJf
Why don't they allow these trains in the lower 48? Because it's insanely dangerous and a known target of terrorists. https://goo.gl/3wDRJf
