WASHINGTON - The train operator killed this week in a Washington rail crash was a hero who saved lives, the Metro transit agency's general manager said Friday.
John Catoe told relatives, friends and colleagues who gathered at a Washington church that 42-year-old Jeanice McMillan of Springfield, Va., will be known as "the Metro hero."
"She was there not just doing her job," Catoe said. He predicted investigators will ultimately determine that her actions "saved lives."
