"I'm a concerned citizen. 1 like the duality of life here In Wyoming and I know there's a strong possibility of having hazardous spills along the highways," he said.

Carroccla, who lobbied for the Utilities industry for 10 years, said he approached the Burlington Northern, Union Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern railroads last month for funding his group.
