CHICAGO — A Chicago commuter train engineer has resigned a day before Metra was to begin a hearing into allegations that he let a teenager operate a train.
Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet (PAR’-dohn-nay) says the engineer submitted his resignation Monday.
Metra officials say they learned about the allegations last month after the 18-year-old apparently put pictures of the unauthorized ride on his MySpace page. The engineer was suspended.
Two other engineers have been suspended after they allegedly allowed the same teen enter their locomotive cabs. They still face investigations and possible disciplinary action.
