These train bridges transport hazardous materials up and down the Hudson River, including highly flammable crude oil, and Schumer said that any problem with the structural integrity of the bridge could lead to a major disaster. These bridges are both owned by CSX, which is tasked with inspecting them each year. Schumer said that given the deplorable state of the bridges, a federal audit is needed. Schumer also called for an increase in the number of federal railroad inspectors. Schumer was joined by Orange County Legislator Curlie Dillard and Riverkeeper's Boat Captain John Lipscomb.</p>"}}
