The BNSF/Metra Railroad Yard in Illinois has been a crucial part of the state’s rail infrastructure for several decades, serving as a key hub for freight and passenger trains. This rail yard employs hundreds of workers who are regularly exposed to various hazardous substances. These include diesel exhaust, asbestos, and chemical solvents, all of which are known to cause serious health issues such as respiratory problems, cancers, and neurological disorders. The yard handles a wide range of materials, including hazardous chemicals, petroleum products, and industrial waste, which further increases the risk of exposure to toxic substances. The combination of these factors makes working at the BNSF/Metra Railroad Yard particularly hazardous, necessitating stringent safety measures to protect the health and well-being of its employees.
