MTS Nashville - A track defect caused a commuter train to derail. Eleven days later, a Metro-North train was mistakenly rerouted into a track gang’s work zone in West Haven, Conn. Foreman Robert Luden, 52, was struck and killed. In March, another Metro-North track worker, Jimmy Romansoff, 58, was struck and killed by a train, this time in Manhattan. Metro-North was coasting on reputation and top managers weren’t paying attention — or heeding warnings by union leaders. Mainline subway derailments of passenger trains have been rare considering the number of trips provided daily.
