	Modelling the Norfolk & Western Railway
		This site will reflect my interests in the Norfolk & Western Railway, mainly focusing on the late 1960s.
		I will also be putting up some information on the late '50s, as I have have more than a passing interest in the late steam era on the N&W; It is just not as practical as a modelling prospect (unless your pockets are deeper than mine).
		Norfolk & Western railfans have visited this site since 28 May 1998.

		Arguing against this trend, Norfolk and its amici assert that the asbestosis claimants’ alleged cancer fears are too remote from asbestosis to warrant inclusion in their pain and suffering awards.
		Norfolk is therefore “liable in damages … for such injury.” Nothing in the statutory text instructs that the amount of damages payable by a liable employer bears reduction when the negligence of a third party also contributed in part to the injury-in-suit.
		Norfolk maintains that the statutory language conveying that a railroad is liable only for injuries an employee sustains “while he is employed by such carrier” makes it clear that railroads are not liable for employee injuries resulting from outside causes.

	TLPJ - News - Norfolk & Western Railway Co. v. Ayers - Nov. 6, 2002
		Norfolk and Western Railway Co. and its supporters argue that FELA bars workers suffering only from asbestosis, an asbestos-related lung disease that increases the risk of cancer, from recovering damages for their fear of contracting cancer.
		The briefs by Norfolk and its supporters are replete with descriptions of the growth of asbestos litigation and charges of liberal venue rules, plaintiff- hungry trial lawyers and massive jury verdicts for relatively healthy plaintiffs.
		I believe we have a good chance of winning both issues." Norfolk argues that there is no basis in the law for someone with asbestosis to recover damages for fear or concern "based solely on their perceptions of the statistical risk" of cancer.

	Norfolk & Western Railway Co v Ayers [USSC]
		Arguing against the trend in the lower courts, Norfolk and its supporting amici assert that the asbestosis claimants’ alleged cancer fears are too remote from asbestosis to warrant inclusion in their pain and suffering awards.
		Finally, Norfolk argues that the studies quantifying cancer risk for workers with asbestosis cannot accurately be extrapolated to evaluate the risk for these particular asbestosis claimants.
		Norfolk submits that requiring employers to sue for contribution will be “wasteful,” Brief for Petitioner 47, but FELA defendants may be able to implead third parties and thus secure resolution of their contribution actions in the same forum as the underlying FELA actions.

	Norfolk & Western Railway v. Ayers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Because asbestosis itself, as distinguished from asbestos exposure, does not generate cancer, Norfolk insists and the principal dissent agrees, “fear of cancer is too unrelated, as a matter of law, to be an element of [an asbestosis sufferer’s pain and suffering.” Tr.
		Reining in employer liability as Norfolk proposes, however, is both unprovided for by the language of the FELA and inconsistent with the Act’s overall recovery facilitating thrust.
		As Norfolk noted, one of the claimants did not testify to having any concern about cancer; another testified that he was more afraid of shortness of breath from his asbestosis than of cancer.

	Norfolk & Western: Dusk in Cold Parlours: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Norfolk & Western railway was, in a lot of ways, a quintessentially American construct.
		The "Norfolk" is Norfolk, Virginia, still one of the country's busiest ports, and in the rail line's pre-Civil War nascence, the "Western" was western Virginia, the Appalachian regions that otherwise took days to reach.
		The railway also left its name to an unassuming Northwestern songwriter named Adam Selzer, whose quiet whisper of a voice delivers his songs of meditative resignation with a solemn, understated grace.

	Norfolk & Western Railway Co. v. Ayers, Freeman, et al. - Medill - On the Docket
		The railway appealed, but after the West Virginia Supreme Court declined to take the case, Norfolk & Western appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Court to consider the case because similar cases under the FELA were being filed in a few sympathetic jurisdictions.
		In the railroad association's petition to the Court, attorney Daniel Saphire argued that the jury verdict should be overturned because no psychiatric evidence, medical testimony or testimony from the employees indicating emotional distress from fear of cancer was ever presented.
		Norfolk & Western attorney Carter Phillips agreed that the lack of medical evidence showing emotional distress is important to the case.
