LOS ANGELES—A former locomotive engineer at the Port of Los Angeles was sentenced to three years behind bars on April 13 for intentionally running a train at full speed off the tracks near the Navy hospital ship Mercy, claiming the vessel was docked at the port as part of a possible “government takeover.”
Eduardo Moreno, 46, of San Pedro, was also ordered to pay $755,880 in restitution to Pacific Harbor Line, the railroad company at the port.
