Trump administration rolls back
Obama-era oil train safety rules
Associated Press
Steve Tool/Chieftain
The remains of a truck that caught fire and exploded in Wallowa County near
Troy, killing Ryan Sullivan of Baker City on Nov. 29.
Baker man killed in bizarre accident
By STEVE TOOL
EO Media Group
A Baker County man
died in a grisly accident at
a Wallowa County camp-
ground during the early
morning hours of Nov. 29.
37-year-old
Ryan
“Sully” Sullivan of Baker
City died at Grizzly Flat
campground near Troy after
his Chevrolet pickup backed
over a live campfire, where
it stopped and caught fire
with Sullivan inside.
Sullivan and another
Baker City man had been
hunting and camping in the
area.
Wallowa County Sheriff
Steve Rogers stated that the
reason for the truck backing
over the campfire is unclear.
According to Rogers,
personnel from the sheriff’s
office, the county’s district
attorney’s office, Oregon
State Police, U.S. Forest
Service, Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife,
Oregon State Fire Marshal
and the Wallowa County
Medical Examiner investi-
gated the scene.
Sullivan is survived by
his wife Nicole and two
small sons, Declan and
Jack, as well as a child on
the way.
A fundraising site has
been established to help
the family: gofundme.com/
ryan-sullivan-memori-
al-fund.
BRIEFLY
Retrial begins
for man whose
murder conviction
was tossed
SPRINGFIELD (AP)
— A second trial has begun
for a man whose murder
conviction was tossed
by the Oregon Supreme
Court, which found he was
wrongfully interrogated
after asking for a lawyer.
The Register-Guard
reported Thursday that
35-year-old Robert Darnell
Boyd is opting for a jury
trial this time after a judge
heard his case the first time.
The state’s high court
ruled last year that Boyd’s
statements to police
shouldn’t have been
introduced at his 2012
trial in the beating death
of his girlfriend, Allyson
Archibald.
Boyd did not dispute
at the first trial that he had
killed Archibald.
His defense attorney
argued at the time that he
did not intend to kill her.
To gain a murder
conviction, prosecutors
must prove the defendant
intended to kill.
13-year-old boy
dies when pickup
strikes his bike
COTTAGE GROVE
(AP) — A 13-year-old
boy was killed when a
pickup truck driven by an
85-year-old man struck him
as he rode his bicycle on
Highway 99S near Cottage
Grove.

the Oregon State Police

PORTLAND — The
Trump administration has
angered
environmental
groups and residents of the
Columbia River Gorge by
rolling back a 2015 rule on
oil train safety.
The Obama administra-
tion rule change required
trains carrying highly explo-
sive liquids to have electron-
ically controlled pneumatic
brakes installed by 2021
— systems intended to help
prevent fiery oil train wrecks
like the one that happened in
the Oregon last year, Oregon
Public Broadcasting reported
Thursday.
A Union Pacific train
derailed in the small
Columbia River town of
Mosier in June 2016, spilling
42,000 gallons of crude oil
and sparking a massive fire
that burned for 14 hours.
The U.S. Department
of Transportation under
President Donald Trump
now says, however, that the
rule change would cost three
times the benefit it would
produce and is rolling it
back, the station reported.
Electronically
controlled
pneumatic
brakes
are
supposed to be faster than
the current industry standard
— air-controlled brakes —
because the simultaneously

Industry officials reacted
positively to the news.

ical Manufacturers, said in a
statement that the rollback a

In this June 2016 file image, from video provided by
KGW-TV, smoke billows from a Union Pacific train that
derailed near Mosier, in the scenic Columbia River
Gorge. The Trump administration is angering environ-
mental groups and residents of the Columbia River
Gorge by rolling back a 2015 rule on oil train safety.
“rational decision.”
Conservation groups and
lawmakers in the Northwest
said the rollback was frus-
trating, but unsurprising.
“We’re
definitely
frustrated that the Trump
administration is weakening
standards that are not strong
enough to begin with,” said
Dan Serres, conservation
director with Columbia
Riverkeeper. “We saw that
with the Mosier derailment,
potentially if there was a
better braking system in
place, we wouldn’t have
seen so many cars come off
the tracks.”
U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley,
an Oregon Democrat, also
slammed the move.
“Oil trains are rolling
explosion hazards, and as
we’ve seen all too many
timesand all too recently in
Mosierit’s not a question
of ‘if’ but ‘when’ oil train
derailments will occur.
Degrading oil train safety
requirements is a huge step
backward and one that puts
our land, homes, and lives at
risk,” he said in a statement.
