Schumer today sounded the alarm on a dangerous CSX-owned trestle over Abeel Street in the City of Kingston, New York. On July 30, 2019, large, heavy ballast rocks fell over 140 feet from a CSX freight train as it crossed the trestle, injuring two people and leaving severe damage on vehicles passing by. Schumer said this dangerous situation is particularly untenable, as currently, there is no barrier under the trestle to shield humans and vehicles from debris. Furthermore, Schumer explained, reports indicate that the incident wasn’t a one-off, and that debris has continued to fall from trains crossing the trestle as recently as September 3rd. To address this rail safety shortcoming, and restore some peace of mind to the surrounding Ulster County community, Schumer called on CSX, the owner of the trestle above Abeel Street, to install safety netting over the street and develop and publically release a long-term safety report to the public."}}
