The nine conductors and four engineers were all charged with impairing the integrity of a government licensing examination, a felony, for allegedly emailing photos of several different versions of Metro-North safety tests to other candidates, prosecutors said.The candidates must pass the exams in order to become licensed locomotive engineers or train conductors with the railroad. The tests are designed to evaluate candidates’ knowledge of braking controls, emergency procedures, train traffic signals, speed limits, and the physical characteristics of various Metro-North lines and stations, among other things.

Very sad for everybody involved. It reflects badly on the men and women who passed the test on their own, and it reflects badly on the people who were supposed to be proctoring the tests.
