Personally I suspect rail would be more hazardous than pipelines, but there's also the factor that this is using infrastructure to protect an industry. If there is a pipeline in place, there is pressure for government subsidies to keep it filled, even if there are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives in the future. As electric vehicles become cheaper to produce and operate, petroleum demand will change.
