    Sayre Rail Yard:

    The Sayre Intermodal Rail Yard in Pennsylvania, originally opened in 1871, was a key facility in the region for many decades. It has undergone various upgrades and modifications to handle modern intermodal traffic, continuing to be a crucial part of the rail network. The yard employs approximately 150 workers, who manage the daily operations and maintenance tasks. On average, around 25 trains pass through the yard each day, facilitating the transport of goods and materials.

    Workers at the Sayre Intermodal Rail Yard are exposed to various toxins that can pose serious health risks. Common toxins include diesel exhaust, asbestos, and chemical solvents. Diesel exhaust, which contains a mixture of gasses and fine particulates, can cause respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term exposure to diesel exhaust has also been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer. Asbestos, once commonly used in railcar construction and maintenance, can lead to serious diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer when its fibers are inhaled. Chemical solvents used in cleaning and maintenance processes can cause skin irritation, neurological damage, and other chronic health issues with prolonged exposure. These occupational hazards underscore the importance of strict safety protocols and protective measures for the workers at the Sayre Intermodal Rail Yard.
