ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- On Tuesday, an Alaskan rail company said it will become the first of its kind in the United States to haul cargo of liquefied natural gas.
Alaska Railroad said it's been working with the Federal Railroad Administration since October to review options to deliver liquefied natural gas, with its first demonstration cargo set for delivery Sept. 27. With that, the company said it will be the first one in the country with the federal authority to move the super-cooled gas by rail.
