From the supplier: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may provide railroad workers with some remedies not previously available to them because of the Federal Employers' Liability Act and the Railway Labor Act. ADA does not preempt laws with greater or equal benefits but neither of the other acts have better benefits. The US Supreme Court ruling in Hawaiian Airlines v. Norris indicates that a collective bargaining agreement also cannot be used to deny rights protected by ADA. Therefore, disabled railroad workers should have the same protections as any other worker under ADA.
