Is there caternary on the Metro-North line?

Contact with that could make you a crispy critter.

Misleading headline- I would have written as “Man on fire”, with sub headline- found on top of train.

Buit that is just me

Sparky. Or one of the League of Seven? Reality seems skewed, too many liberals reporting. What caused the fire, why was he on top of the train, were police reports filed? What is his condition in the hospital?

This is news which is not news.

Yes. But I don’t know if all tracks are electrified, there’s 4 or 5 tracks at least.

All tracks on that line are electrified. 12,000 volts at 60 Hertz.

They said it was a train that runs on electricity. He hit the wires ... Or something.
