A recent train derailment in North Dakota, which lasted for several days and involved flawed DOT-111 tank cars, has reignited discussions on the need for their replacement. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) pointed out that these tank cars are prone to rupturing in crashes and have been problematic since the 1990s. Although a replacement deadline for flammable liquid transport has been set for 2029, the NTSB is investigating damage caused during the incident, which resulted in significant damage to railroad infrastructure but no reported injuries.
