'IN THE BLAST ZONE'
Activists use disaster's anniversary to 
call attention to oil trains


Excerpts:
A handful of Skagit County residents concerned about oil train traffic organized 
a series of events this week as part of a larger campaign called Stop Oil Trains 
Week of Action. 

BNSF Railway lines that carry crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken region run
 north to south through the county, and west from Mount Vernon and Burlington 
to Anacortes. About 15,500 residents in Mount Vernon and Burlington are in the 
blast zone . . .
