This means that railroad workers are more susceptible to developing mesothelioma than other workers.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Often the signs and symptoms don&amp;#039;t manifest themselves until several years after the initial exposure to asbestos.

The defendant must be able to prove that the mesothelioma of the plaintiff is caused by exposures on the job.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Many railway workers were afflicted by asbestos exposure when they worked in locomotive shops, on trains, and in other areas.
