Southern Railway Company (Railroad) appeals the district courts denial of its motion for partial summary judgment in this action under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). The district court certified a question for interlocutory appeal: "Is the door and ratchet mechanism of a railroad ballast car a safety appliance within the terms of the Safety Appliance Act, 45 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, et seq.?" Because we conclude that the mechanism at issue is not a "safety appliance," we reverse and remand.
