Probably is less environmentally dangerous. Depends on how many spills
come from the pipeline, and how big they are.
BTW, TransCanada is going for eminent domain to grab the land needed.

"The association has published a battery of statistics to show pipelines
have more and bigger spills than rail operators. It estimates railroads

compared with an estimated spill rate of 0.88 gallons on the pipeline
network."
