I was driving home yesterday and I was near a freight train the had open hoppers and dust was everywhere. I am freaking out because I believe it was asbestos dust. Is this realistic?

Asbestos was banned 1980, which is 40 years ago. While it may still be prevalent to some extent in some old railroad cars still in service and might pose a small risk to railroad workers with regular exposure over years, I would consider the probability zero that there was even one of such cars on that train, let alone that it emitted enough asbestos to even reach you.
