    Rutherford Intermodal Rail Yard:

    The Rutherford Intermodal Rail Yard in Pennsylvania, also known as the Harrisburg Intermodal Yard, was opened in 1986. This facility plays a critical role in freight transportation, handling significant volumes of intermodal traffic. The yard employs approximately 300 workers, who are involved in various operations including loading, unloading, and managing the intermodal containers. On a daily basis, the yard sees around 25 to 30 trains passing through, making it a bustling hub of activity.

    However, the yard’s operations expose workers to several harmful toxins. Diesel exhaust from locomotives and heavy equipment contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Prolonged exposure to these pollutants can lead to respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and even lung cancer. Additionally, the handling of intermodal containers can sometimes involve contact with hazardous materials, increasing the risk of chemical exposure. These chemicals can include solvents and other industrial agents that may cause skin irritation, neurological issues, and other long-term health problems. Ensuring proper safety measures and monitoring air quality are essential to protect the health of the workers at the Rutherford Intermodal Rail Yard.
