Enola Rail Yard:
Enola Rail Yard, located in Pennsylvania, opened in 1905 and quickly became one of the largest rail yards in the world. It employs approximately 500 workers who manage the extensive operations of sorting, assembling, and dispatching trains. On a daily basis, Enola Rail Yard handles around 120 trains, contributing significantly to the freight movement along the East Coast. However, the rail yard is not without its hazards. Workers are potentially exposed to various toxins, including diesel exhaust, asbestos, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Diesel exhaust is a well-known carcinogen, which can lead to lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. Asbestos exposure is linked to mesothelioma and asbestosis, while VOCs are associated with a range of health issues, including liver and kidney damage, as well as certain cancers. The presence of these toxins necessitates stringent safety measures to protect the health of the employees working in the yard.
