In the Pacific Northwest, the railroad industry has been strong and active.  Many national Railroads, such as the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroads have had a long history in both Washington and Oregon.   That history has included not only the motive of rail cars within Washington and Oregon, but, also the maintenance and repair of locomotives, as well as, rail cars, rail equipment and machinery.

Unfortunately, these activities have resulted in a great number of workers being exposed to the deadly asbestos fiber.  Many of these workers have developed mesothelioma and other asbestos related cancers.

Rail workers who develop any asbestos related diseases, including mesothelioma should seek proper representation and obtain the justice they deserve.
