Orange County rail site expansion concerns NY regulators in wake of recent accidents

Mary Esch, Associated Press

ALBANY >> In the wake of recent derailments involving trains carrying crude oil, state regulators are seeking more information from a Massachusetts company that plans to expand its Hudson River facilities that rout rail shipments of crude from North Dakota and western Canada to coastal refineries.

The Department of Environmental Conservation has sent letters to Global Partners, based in Waltham, Mass., requesting more information about emergency response plans, community impact and other aspects of a rail terminal planned in the Orange County town of New Windsor.
