[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Railway Safety Act. Minnesota state law limiting

Federal Railway Safety Act; law did not fall within the savings clause of
the Act because it was not necessary to reduce an essentially local safety
hazard.
