BETHLEHEM, N.Y. — A investigation into the death of a UTU member who was killed working at the CSX railyard in Selkirk is underway, the Daily Mail reports.

According to Bob Sullivan, a CSX spokesman, investigators are working to uncover the circumstances that led to the death of 33-year-old Jared C. Boehlke.

Boehlke died after being hit by a train in the CSX Selkirk railyard just before 7 p.m. on Sunday.

“We’re investigating,” said Sullivan. “We’re working with the Federal Railroad Administration, Department of Transportation, the Bethlehem Police Department and the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate the circumstances and cause of the accident.”

Sullivan added that they were going to “let the investigation run its course and get a sound idea” before speculating as how to the accident happened.

According to a NTSB spokesman, Investigator Ed Dobranetski was dispatched Monday morning to make a report of the incident.

It could take Dobranetski a few days to file a report and between six to 18 months before it is officially published, according to the NTSB spokesman.

Boehlke has been an employee of CSX for the past eight years and is survived by his wife Heather and their three-year-old daughter.

The UTU indicated that Boehlke and his family have been in the railroad business for generations.

“His father is a conductor, and a brother Dave is a conductor who was on duty at the same time and accompanied him to the hospital,” wrote George Casey, the UTU New England legislative director, on the union’s Web site.
