NEW YORK — A New York City Transit died after being discovered between tracks of a subway yard in the Bronx on Thursday, possibly after making contact with the electrified third rail, according to police.
WINS radio reports the 38-year-old woman was found about 8:20 a.m. at the Mosholu Train Yard in Jerome Park, and transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The victim was reported to be Azure Forde, who had joined NYC Transit in May.
“The Transit family is heartbroken to have lost a colleague as she was putting a train into service at the Mosholu Yard to help move New Yorkers,” New York City Transit President Richard Davey said in a statement, “and we are conducting a thorough investigation to determine what happened.”
