Key Shale-by-Rail Locations
• Natural Gas/NGLs Locations• Ohio: Utica Shale (liquids rich)• Pennsylvania: Marcellus (dry gas)• Louisiana: Haynesville (dry gas; activity down)
• Crude Oil Locations• Texas: Eagle Ford Formation and Permian Basin• North Dakota: Bakken• Canada: Alberta tar sands

5Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
Utica Shale In Ohio
• Utica Shale = rich natural gas liquids (NGLs)– Ethane, Propane, Butane, condensate and/or natural gasoline.
• Utica Shale does not produce significant crude oil– Western portion potentially crude oil rich, not yet economically recoverable.
• Production to grow dramatically with new processing and fractionation is available
– Processing: Separation of NGLs, water and other impurities from dry gas
– Fractionation: Separation of NGLs into components (e.g., ethane, propane, butane, etc.)

6Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
• Site prep ~ 200 railcars of stone• Inputs ~ 30+ railcars per well:
4-6 railcars of OCTG (pipe) 15-30+ railcars of sand ½ railcar of cement
• NGL Outputs ~ 10+ railcars per well: 4-6 railcars of drill cuttings 2-3+ railcars of NGLs/day
Shale to Rail – What Does It Mean?
• Crude Outputs Multiple unit trains per week

Railcar Storage Impact
• More storage required than traditional rail customers
• Frac sand terminal 5+ grades, may need 1-2 miles car storage.
• NGL Fractionation plants require even more track.– Varying tank cars by commodity
– Multiple shippers/marketers in one facility

8Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
Liquids Shipments Safety Implication
• “Key Train” Status– 20 or more haz-mat placard cars
– No unattended trains
– Close coordination at interchange
– Stays on mainline when passing other trains
• More detailed haz-mat traffic lanes identification
• More interaction with FRA at key haz-mat locations

9Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
Service Impact
• Not incremental traffic – Trainload(s) of new traffic
• Design train service to fit commodity & customer demand
• Careful pre-planning
• Close communication with customers
• Hiring of additional operating employees
• Premium service and cost

Big Picture Rail & Shale
• Defining the market– Pipelines vs. rail? Competition amongst shale plays and end-markets?
• Committing to long-term track investments– Capacity is available and scalable
• Optimizing use of sites (particularly in East)• Maintaining service to existing (non-shale) customers• Strong competition between railroads for projects• Public policy alignment
– Private RRs invest significant private capital
– More rail shipments make roads safer and last longer (saves everybody $)
– Encourage road funding & TSW policies to work with, not against RRs
