FILE - In this July 6, 2013 file-pool photo, emergency workers examine the aftermath of a train derailment and fire in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. Federal regulators issued an emergency order Tuesday requiring tests of crude oil before shipment by rail to determine how susceptible it is to explosion or fire, a response to a string of train accidents since last summer involving oil from the Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana. A runaway train with 72 tank cars of Bakken oil derailed, exploded and burned in the downtown area of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, near the Maine border in July. Forty-seven people were killed and 30 buildings destroyed. Oil trains have also exploded and burned in North Dakota and Alabama in recent months. (AP Photo/Ryan Remiorz, File-Pool)

Waldorf of Butte said he was nearing the crossing just before 9 a.m. Tuesday when he saw the train coming around the bend. Because of the recent snowfall, he felt he would have been unable to stop in time, so he decided to "gun it" across the tracks. (AP Photo/The Montana Standard, Walter Hinick)
