In recent news about the dangers of exposure to asbestos, the family of a former railroad worker who died from asbestos-related cancer has won lawsuit compensation.

The railroad worker was exposed to the deadly material while working on railroad tracks in the 1940s, the family's asbestos lawyer said.

He was diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer in 2005 and died in July 2006 aged 74.

Several makers of asbestos-containing products agreed to settle the mesothelioma claim out of court and pay the family lawsuit compensation.

Boilers of locomotives were coated with thick asbestos and asbestos was also used over the pipes and cylinders of the engines.
