In BNSF Railway Co. v. Alstom Transportation, Inc., the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district court’s order which had vacated an arbitration panel’s award. The Fifth Circuit held that BNSF failed to carry its burden to show that the arbitration panel was not “even arguably interpreting” a maintenance agreement with Alstom, holding that the arbitration’s panel’s construction of the agreement holds “however good, bad, or ugly.”
