Those Who Worked at National Trainyards in the U.S. Were At Risk for Asbestos Disease, Including Mesothelioma

If you or a loved one worked at any of the national trainyards in the U.S., you were at risk for exposure to asbestos, a dangerous carcinogen known to cause serious asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma.

Asbestos is still commonly used in train and rail yards in brake liners, clutches and other components. It was also used as insulation on trains and ships, and in the buildings located in the train and rail yards. Those at risk include workers at the following rail yards:

  • BNSF Railway (BNSF)
  • Canadian National Railway (CN)
  • Canadian Pacific Railway (CP)
  • CSX Transportation (CSXT)
  • Kansas City Southern Railway (KCS)
  • Norfolk Southern Railway (NS)
  • Union Pacific Railroad (UP)

    Click on these links for more information on regional and local railroads, as well as switching and terminal railroads, non-common carriers, unclassified railroads, and national and regional passenger railroad companies.

    Even limited exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer or asbestosis.
