A rail company will host a crude oil training session today in Dickinson, according to a press release.
BNSF Railway will hold the exercise for local emergency responders to prepare for oil-related incidents. The session will be a combination of classroom and hands-on training using a special training tank car, according to the release. The exercise is one of several BNSF is conducting across North Dakota this summer.
