Alabama train engineer indicted in death of worker on rails
The engineer was distracted by a video conversation on a personal cellphone while the train was in motion, a violation of federal regulations, the agency found. Minutes before impact, the engineer took off his hat and placed it in front of a surveillance camera, but the man could still be seen holding the phone, said the report.
The indictment accused Elder of “recklessly using a cellular device while operating a locomotive” and going too fast for conditions.
