CSX Transportation Inc (CSXT) and Transflo Corp have introduced BTU Rail Direct, a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution service using Transflo's new portable rail-truck transfer equipment. Designed to enhance customer flexibility and market responsiveness, the service will be offered to CSXT customers at select Transflo sites within its 23-state network in the eastern United States.

Commercial efforts initially will focus on the propane and butane markets. “BTU Rail Direct aims to serve niches within these dynamic market segments,” said Mike Ohorodnik, CSX director — chemicals business development. “It is designed to increase rail movements of LPG, but not to compete with traditional rail destinations.”
