LNG rail car
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under Donald Trump is making a renewed effort to allow the transportation of LNG (liquefied natural gas) by specially-manufactured rail cars (super safe). In September 2023, the PHMSA under President Autopen issued a federal rule suspending a 2020 authorization of LNG transportation in rail tank cars granted under the first Trump administration (see LNG-by-Rail Officially on Hold with PHMSA, Agency Will “Study” It). The suspension (ban) was to remain in effect until either a permanent rule regarding LNG rail tank car transportation is proposed and finalized — or June 30, 2025.
