Sorry, if this has been brought up before, but I could not find it.

Anybody know exactly what she did?

She was apparently caught several days later.

She is a local South LA transient. Was caught on surveillance cameras lining an unlocked yard switch back and forth at the east end of BNSF's Hobart Yard intermodal facility. Turns out the switch was left 'floating' in an unsecured position that visually appeared to be properly thrown to an approaching outbound train several minutes later. The outbound train then ended up derailing (at slow speed) over the switch damaging the rail, and significantly delaying the departure of high priority outbound freight.

Mr. MRL

What can I say, such a waste of young life and a danger to others. Very sad.

"Make sure you latch the switch and check your switch points" - She must of been absent on the first day of class. Throw the book at that *****; I'm glad that she was caught in the act on camera, because the crew or last yardman to use it would of had a hard time fighting off the company. Stopping at each switch lined for your movement in a busy yard would create a cluster**** in a hurry and the TMs would catch "a case of the ass"; and it always runs downhill. 

Boy, she sure doesn't fit the profile of your standard-issue present-day young male RR/graffiti vandal.

That's because there is no "profile" anymore.  "Girl" Taggers are more common then you think.

Thanks for the answer!
