OPINION OF THE COURT
GREENBERG, Circuit Judge.
On this appeal we determine whether a former railroad is absolved of liability from a claim by a former employee under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) for asbestosis becoming manifest subsequent to the reorganization of the railroad pursuant to section 77 of the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, as supplemented by the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 (Rail Act), and after the divestment of its rail assets by their conveyance to the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail). We hold that it is not shielded from these claims.1
