Federal regulators recently approved the first route in the nation where transportation of liquid natural gas by rail would be allowed, according to NJ Spotlight. Trains will ship LGN to Gibbstown on the Delaware River from Wyalusing in northeastern Pennsylvania.

The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued its approval earlier this month to Energy Transport Solutions’ plan to transport LNG from the abundant reserves in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale, and export it via a yet-to-be-built terminal at Gibbstown in Gloucester County.

The company must submit its plans for the quantities of LNG to be shipped, and their timing, within 90 days. Additionally, it must prepare local emergency responders to deal with any incident involving the release of LNG.
