Daily News | Families of Chester kids killed by Amtrak train allege negligence by the company in a new lawsuit

The lawsuit, filed in federal court, asserts that the transportation company failed to fix a"gaping hole" in a fence surrounding the track for years.

Siana Gordan, mother of Jahaad Atkinson, 9, and Wydeia Kimble, mother of Ah’Yir Womack, 12, are seeking $20 million in damages against the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, the entity that operates Amtrak. The group entered the tracks through a “gaping hole” in the fence surrounding it, one that the Emeka Igwe, the attorney representing the families, said had been there for years, long enough that using the tracks as a shortcut had become a “common practice” for adults and children alike.The children killed by an Amtrak train on Saturday were Chester residents, ages 9 and 12

Igwe said the case is not a simple incident of trespassing, as Amtrak initially contended, but rather a tragedy that could have been prevented if the company had maintained its property.
