Did you work for Kansas City Southern Railway and Develop Mesothelioma?

If you worked for Kansas City Southern Railway, this could be a helpful clue to tracking down the origin of the asbestos that caused your Mesothelioma? Before people realized it was toxic, asbestos was used to insulate several different parts in trains. If you worked around these parts, in a trainyard for instance, there's a chance that this exposure is at least partially responsible for your Mesothelioma.

We do the research to find the source of your Mesothelioma and help you pursue a legal case if that is your wish. Fill out our form to start the process.

Additional comments:

Arthur Edward Stilwell began construction on the first line of what would become the Kansas City Southern Railway in 1887, in suburban Kansas City, Missouri. Over the ensuing decade, the line grew through construction and acquisitions to become a through route between Kansas City and Port Arthur, Texas, with the final spike being driven north of Beaumont, Texas, on September 11, 1897. Another mainline between Dallas and New Orleans, via Shreveport, Louisiana, was added through merger with the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway during the 1930s. From 1940 to 1969, Kansas City Southern operated the Southern Belle passenger train between Kansas City and New Orleans.
