Mesothelioma Explained: Did you work for the BNSF Railway?

Did you work for the BNSF Railway in Fort Worth, Texas before developing mesothelioma?  Before people realized it was toxic, asbestos was used to insulate several different parts in locomotives. If you worked around these parts, there's a chance that this exposure is at least partially responsible for your mesothelioma.

BNSF railway is one of the four remaining transcontinental railroads and one of the largest railroad networks in North America (only one competitor, the Union Pacific Railroad, is larger in size). With globalization, the transcontinental railroads are a key component in the containerization of the Pacific Rim with the BNSF Railway moving more intermodal traffic than any other rail system in the world. It was formed December 31, 1996 as the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad.
