    BNSF Calwa Yard:

    The BNSF Calwa Rail Yard, located in Fresno, California, was established in the early 20th century to serve as a critical hub for the transportation of agricultural products from the Central Valley. The yard has grown significantly since its inception, becoming one of the key facilities for BNSF Railway in the region. Currently, the Calwa Rail Yard employs approximately 200 workers who manage and oversee the daily operations of the yard. On average, the yard handles around 30 trains each day, including both freight and intermodal traffic.

    Workers at the Calwa Rail Yard are exposed to various toxins as part of their daily duties. These include diesel exhaust from locomotives, which contains harmful substances such as benzene, formaldehyde, and particulate matter. Prolonged exposure to these toxins can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and an increased risk of cancer. Additionally, workers may come into contact with hazardous materials transported through the yard, such as chemicals and other dangerous goods. These exposures can result in acute health effects, such as skin and eye irritation, as well as long-term chronic conditions. The combination of these occupational hazards underscores the importance of stringent safety protocols and protective measures to safeguard the health of the workers at the BNSF Calwa Rail Yard.
