Not the most interesting news item ever, but I found it amusing. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
A Metra engineer has been suspended for allegedly allowing an 18-year-old train enthusiast to operate the controls of a commuter train.
"Obviously this is unacceptable. This is a serious matter," said Warren Flatau, spokesman for the Federal Railroad Administration.
Three engineers are accused of allowing an "unauthorized person" into the cab of a locomotive, and one of the three is accused of allowing that same person to operate the controls, Flatau said.
Judy Pardonnet, spokeswoman for the commuter rail service, said three engineers have been suspended and face disciplinary action.
