A National Transportation Safety Board Railroad Accident Report (1973) describes the accident which occurred in a shunting yard in East St. Louis, Illinois. Arriving cars are classified in the yard, then delivered to outbound carriers. On arrival, cars are inspected. They are then pushed up a mound, uncoupled, and allowed to roll down a descending grade onto one of the classification tracks. This process is called humping. Cars are directed and controlled by a computerized switching and speed-control system.

Local partial confinement or obstruction in a vapor cloud may easily act as an initiator for detonation, which may propagate into the cloud as well. So far, however, only one possible unconfined vapor cloud detonation has been reported in the literature it occurred at Port Hudson, Missouri (National Transportation Safety Board Report 1972 Burgess and Zabetakis 1973). In most cases the nonhomogeneous structure of a cloud freely dispersing in the atmosphere probably prevents a detonation from propagating.

It should be noted that these details indicate wood construction for the NG facilities which is normally not allowed by AMCR 385-100, however, these details have been reviewed and approved for use by the Department of Defense Engineering Safety Board (DDESB). In order to comply with the AMC Safety Manual, approvals may have to be obtained on an individual project basis. 

Time is saved. DOD construction projects involving explosives require special review by the DOD Explosives Safety Board. Standard designs are pre-approved this saves review time.
