"Shipping LNG By Rail? Alaska Railroad Wants To Make It Happen"

"At a time when Alaska state officials are eager to provide low-cost fuel to the energy-hungry Fairbanks region, the Alaska Railroad Corp. is seeking to become the first U.S. company to ship liquefied natural gas by rail.

The Alaska railroad and three other companies -- Union Pacific, BNSF Railway and Florida East Coast Railway Co. -- have applied for Federal Railroad Administration permits to ship LNG on their rail lines.

Currently, no liquefied gas is transported by rail in the United States."
