Schumer’s call comes on the heels of an incident last month where a hiker was electrocuted at the FDR Estate in Hyde Park after coming into contact with low-hanging electrical wires owned by Amtrak. Schumer said that Amtrak’s rails and power lines run alongside many parks, hiking trails and recreation areas in Dutchess, and this demonstrates a need for Amtrak to review all of its power lines, ensure they do not endanger passersby, and that the proper protections are in place. Schumer was joined by NYS Assemblyman Frank Skartados.</p>"}}
