I don't have comparative statistics (not so easy to find unbiased info), but my impression is that rail shipments go through populated areas and have killed many people. One incident I read about in Quebec killed 47. The stuff I read about pipelines is that they pollute when there are leaks, and that the leaks are fewer, but spill more oil. My bias goes to saving more lives.

The important thing is that rail transport of petroleum is dangerous. Look at the number of disasters this has caused. Pipeline is much safer. The oil will be moved somehow.
