Summary: |
Patrolman James Mynderse was struck and killed by a train in the downtown area of Schenectady. A woman who was shopping in the area was crossing a double-track when two trains from opposite directions were approaching. The woman became paralyzed with fear and Patrolman Mynderse, who was at a walking post near the crossing, immediately ran to her and pushed her out of the way. Patrolman Mynderse narrowly escaped being struck by the first train, but stepped back onto the other tracks and was struck by the second train.
The City Council honored his serviced by naming a new street after him. Patrolman Mynderse had been with the agency for six years and was survived by wife, two daughters, and son.
