Support for Lineman Involved in Near-Fatal Train Collision

March 14, 2022

On March 10, longtime IBEW member and journeyman lineman Phil Merlino and his crew were involved in a near fatal, train/equipment collision in San Bruno, CA while working on the “The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP)” — upgrading and electrifying Caltrain’s 51-mile doubletrack commuter rail system from the 4th and King Caltrain Station in San Francisco to the Tamien Station in San Jose.

Brother Merlino jumped from a crane to the right of way at the moment of impact, and suffered third-degree burns from the initial explosion on the back of his hands, head and neck. He is currently recovering in the burn center, and he and his family could use our support during this time.  Donations can be made using the GoFundMe link below.
