Not sure why this is even newsworthy or relevant unless it was his own negligence and he was disciplined for it. I was involved in a derailment caused by a sharp flange that picked a switch point on a curve, and another where the rails spread due to rotten ties. I'm pretty sure if someone said I was derailment prone, I would have them check the facts...could just mean I work a lot of hours, sometimes with less than perfect equipment.

You (and several others) have a sense of empathy for Tom Harding.
The journalist(her job)was to find more information about Tom Harding.
