Engineer in fatal NY derailment to get federal pension
NEW YORK (AP) — An engineer who was at the controls of a speeding commuter train that killed four passengers when it derailed in New York in 2013 has been awarded a federal railroad retirement pension.
Rockefeller's attorney, Daniel Seymour, tells the newspaper that Rockefeller will receive the payments for an unspecified disability that has made it impossible for him to return to work.
