My guess is $4.8 million and I'm not joking.

T would prefer NS not use double stack cars around it's stations.

Why not just prefer NS not derail trains onto their tracks?

Yeah that's some ignorance I think.  Thank goodness it was containers that spilled their contents and not tank cars.  I'll take dog food over hydrochloric acid.
