Ice-Tea:
Have you checked how easy it is to get hydrogen going vs diesel?

Not even remotely comparable.

Now Ammonia, those accidents are something special.

Phosgene from vinyl chloride has been used as a weapon. Diesel combustion products, not so much.

TimFox:
Vinyl chloride is not very toxic, but it is a known carcinogen (even outside of California).

Inactivates pretty fast though.

My point was that I doubt a train full of hydrogen would remind people of the Ohio media frenzy. Hindenberg isn't huge in public consciousness, yes people will know it's flammable ... so is petrol and diesel.

Gasoline does burn pretty easily, but diesel fuel is actually very hard to set on fire at least in normal conditions.
