Train engineer gets 3 years for intentional derailment in LA

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A train engineer who intentionally derailed a locomotive near a U.S. Navy hospital ship that was deployed in Los Angeles harbor to help during the COVID-19 pandemic was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison. Eduardo Moreno pleaded guilty in December 2021 to one count of committing a terrorist attack. Moreno acknowledged in his plea agreement that he drove a locomotive at full speed off the end of the tracks near where the Mercy was docked because he believed it might be involved in a sinister conspiracy. Nobody was hurt.
