The Morristown & Erie hosted the Dow Safety Train in Whippany on May 9-10, 2018.
The 6-hour training session that included both hands on and classroom modules including Rail Car & Locomotive Anatomy, Tank Truck Emergencies, Fuming Acid Emergencies, Rail Car Capping Kits "C & Midland" with Leak Mitigation, Grounding & Bonding for Hazmat, and Pipe Line Awareness and Emergency Response.
The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) began its relationship with the Firefighters Education and Training Foundation (the Foundation) in 2006, with a shared vision and passion to build and operate a state-of-the-art hazmat safety train. The safety train – consisting of high-tech classroom cars, representative tank cars and a “protective housing” flatcar – was designed to enable delivery of best-in-class, hands-on training for local community emergency responders along transportation routes.
