With approximately 470 train stations, more than 650 main line track miles for passenger service, and millions of riders every year, the New York train system is one of the most intricate and highly used systems in the country. New Yorkers and those who visit the state have the option of taking the subway or MTA as a major part of their daily commute. However, as affordable and convenient as the train system may be, riders are also subject to serious accidents. Unfortunately, train accidents happen all too often in New York.
