Railroad Equipment & Components
Railroad rolling stock manufactured before the late 1970s incorporated asbestos throughout its construction — from locomotive boiler insulation and pipe lagging to brake shoe linings and mechanical room insulation. Manufacturers including Alco Locomotive, ACF Industries, and the major Class I railroads (BNSF, CSX, Union Pacific) fielded equipment with extensive asbestos content. Railroad shop workers, carmen, and locomotive engineers who maintained and repaired this equipment received sustained occupational asbestos exposure.
