Answer 3

We are issued all the information we are required to have by our carrier but the DOT regulations for hazardous material is public knowledge.

Fire and emergency response departments also have copies of this book available.

I would start by going to the Federal Railroad Agency (FRA) site and see if their hazmat guide is avaliable there.
