That's very interesting, thanks for posting.

One question I have is, to turn it around, does Metro-North provide on-site training to departments in Westchester, Putnam and Fairfield? The railroad can be a very hazardous place to be. I recall an incident this past summer where a FF was injured in Connecticut because of some confusion as to whether power to the railroad's overhead lines had been shut down.

I used to see FDNY drilling at Grand Central on Sunday mornings.

They do provide railroad safety & response training, I took the class. They teach you how to access train cars and where not too. It is a very good class, I recommend it for anyone who has the potential to respond to a rail car accident.
