Napalm train back to California stirs safety concerns
The Napalm train bound for California from Kansas City halted as Pollution Control Industries withdrew a $2.5 million contract to recycle napalm. Two 6,000 gallon tanks were to leave Kansas City for China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station near Los Angeles, and the Navy would store it there while seeking disposal options. Local officials feared route dangers. Navy and PCI faced political pressure amid public debate over Midwest disposal potential.
