Rail Yard
Natural gas lies waiting in Pennsylvania, but the materials to locate and extract it often come from hundreds of miles away. Linde has partnered with TRAC (The Rail Associates Corporation) to open transload facilities in Carbondale and Sayre. Rail reduces transportation and energy expenses compared to truck travel. Both facilities connect to Class 1 Rail Carriers and handle materials crucial to harvesting natural gas from Marcellus Shale.

Carbondale Transload LLC occupies the site of the former Carbondale Rail Yards in Carbondale, PA. Linde Corporation saw in 2009 that the natural gas industry was poised for huge and continued growth in the immediate future in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

It was from this opportunity that Carbondale Transload LLC was born.
Sayre Transload LLC
Linde Corporation opened the Sayre Transload Facility in late 2010. Companies are shipping materials to this region from all over the country, so the Sayre Transload site, which connects to Class 1 Rail Provider the Norfolk Southern Railroad, is close to the growing natural gas activity in Bradford County, PA. While it is a logical shipping point for companies in the Marcellus industry, Sayre Transload LLC welcomes any and all business, large and small.
