KINGSBURY -- A man and a boy who were fishing from a train trestle were hit and killed by a train Sunday, a collision that was not seen by either the train’s staff or passengers, police said.

Paul D. Wallach, 34, of Kingsbury, and Jordan Catellier, 6, of Kingsbury, were killed by the passing Amtrak train, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Monday afternoon.

Police said they were not related but were acquaintances. The child attended Hudson Falls schools.

They were struck by a southbound Amtrak passenger train on the Ethan Allen line that was on its way from Rutland, Vt., to New York City, police reported.

The conductor apparently did not see them or know he hit them, but Washington County Sheriff Jeff Murphy said investigators have viewed video footage from the train that shows the accident occurring.

He said Wallach and the boy were sitting on the trestle, and stood up as the train passed by. The accident happened sometime before 7 p.m.

“It appears as though they (the victims) thought there was enough room for them as it went by,” the sheriff said.
