	THAXTON v. NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY et al.
		After Larry Thaxton was diagnosed with lung cancer, he brought this suit against Norfolk Southern Railway Company and its subsidiary, Alabama Great Southern Railway Company, alleging injury from second-hand smoke.
		He sued the defendants under the Federal Employers' Liability Act ("FELA"), 45 USC 51 et seq., claiming that his cancer was caused by the environmental tobacco smoke generated by his co-workers when he stayed in sleeping trailers while working on the railroad's tracks and railyards.
		The trial court denied the motion, and we granted the interlocutory application to determine whether the court's denial of the motion to add these parties was proper.

		It was undisputed that Norfolk Southern Railway was not involved in determining the no-smoking policy, and that the railway simply implemented the policy which NSC set.
		She stated that NSC was a holding company which owned stock in various transportation companies, and that it was the owner of all of the outstanding common stock of Norfolk Southern Railway, which in turn owned all of the outstanding common stock of Norfolk and Western Railway.
		Nevertheless, Norfolk Southern argues that though NSC was not Larry Thaxton's employer, NSC is in "vertical privity" with it, and that Thaxton is therefore barred from asserting a common law claim against NSC.
