Sacramento Regional Transit officials say a dangerous runaway light-rail train in North Sacramento last week was caused by a maintenance technician who mistakenly disabled a safety feature on the train, setting it in motion unmanned and unoccupied.

Sacramento transit agency challenges $10,000 fine for runaway train

 

 

Saying the state is being punitive, Sacramento Regional Transit has challenged a $10,000 fine issued by the California Public Utilities Commission in connection with a runaway light-rail train in North Sacramento earlier this year.

 

RT acknowledges it was at fault when the train sped down the tracks without a driver, but the agency argues it has taken steps to prevent such an incident from happening again, and so the PUC fine is unnecessary.
