(I thought transporting oil by rail was safer than using pipelines. Oh wait. That's

Jeff Zent, a spokesman for Gov. Jack Dalrymple, says the train was carrying Bakken oil loaded in the Tioga area.
The derailment Wednesday follows a string of oil train fires linked to the volatile crude from the Bakken region. It's the first since the state in April required companies to reduce the volatility of Bakken crude before it can be transported, raising questions about whether the new standard is sufficient.
Zent didn't know whether the oil in Wednesday's accident had been treated.
No injuries were reported. Twenty people were evacuated from a small town and cautioned to avoid the plume of smoke.
