Tragic Track Worker Fatality in NYC | New York City News

A tragic on-the-track fatality has rocked New York City transit: Moet McCullum, an 11-month veteran track worker and mother of three, was struck by a southbound D train near Yankee Stadium station while setting up warning lights. The union says the train operator reported no lights and was traveling at normal speed — marking the first such death since November 2023. Her twin sister, a ten-year MTA conductor, is devastated. NYC Transit leadership expressed deep sorrow and met with the family. The NTSB has launched an investigation, following prior safety concerns and a previous court-ordered safety upgrade that the MTA appealed. Union officials are collaborating with investigators to uncover what went wrong — and how to prevent future tragedies.
