Driver of DC train that hit stopped cars loved job

Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Va. — The Metro train operator who was driving the cars that barreled into a stopped train is being remembered as an employee who was proud of her job.

Metro officials said Tuesday that 42-year-old Jeanice McMillan of Springfield, Va., was killed in the crash. Metro spokeswoman Candace Smith says McMillan was hired in March 2007 as a bus driver and was tapped to become a train operator in December.

One of McMillan's neighbors says the train operator was a meticulous mother who ironed her Metro uniform each night.

Joanne Harrison lives in an apartment across from McMillan. She says McMillan would have done everything in her power to stop the train if she could have.

The neighbor says McMillan is survived by a son, Jordan, who is in college.
