US: Keystone Cement has sought permissions to transport hazardous materials by rail to its Bath cement plant in Pennsylvania. The Express-Times newspaper has reported that the producer plans to build a six-tank farm and a railcar unloading facility at the plant, scheduled for commissioning in early 2026, to receive the materials. The Bath plant currently receives 10 – 15 tanker trucks of hazardous material daily.
Keystone Cement said "Transporting the hazardous wastes to site by the existing regional and local rail system would reduce the number of tanker trucks on the roads."
