Construction worker killed by test train By DAVE PHILLIPS, Orange Bulletin, CT
Prior to the work being started, a Class A electrician terminated electricity to the area at about 11 p.m. O&G workers in the vicinity of high voltage power lines began removing timbers of wood underneath the I-95 project.
'Without electricity, no electric trains can go through, but instead a diesel test train came around the corner,' said East Haven Assistant Fire Chief Paul Cahill, who could not recall such an accident, only kids being hit by a train about 15 years ago. 'When it hit, it also hit the lumbers, the wood and the boom, the whole upper section and propelled into three bays down. The train continued forward, striking the other manlift with two employees in it. Another manlift from the other side was struck, but a worker powered away as fast as possible.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:35 AM :: reference link ::
