A suppression system for use in a safety railcar may include a source of pressurized water connected to at least one foam tank containing a suppression foam. A controllable valve mediates flow of pressurized water from the source of pressurized water to the at least one foam tank. The controllable valve is controllable to permit flow of pressurized water to the at least one foam tank in response to detection of a hazardous event. A spray nozzle is connected to the foam tank via a rupture disc that is configured to rupture and permit flow of suppression foam from the spray nozzle when pressure within the foam tank exceeds a predetermined threshold.
