I think you are seriously underestimating just how frequently pipelines fail. There are definitely more pipeline spills than rail accidents each year, and I believe if you take into account severity of spills (e.g., ignoring spills that don't make it outside a pumping station), I think it comes out to "pipelines spill on average as much in a year as rail has in my entire lifetime."
