Train driver ogles women at 120 kph

KANAZAWA--A West Japan Railway Co. driver secretly took photos of two female passengers with a cellphone while his train was running at 120 kph.

The 28-year-old driver turned his eyes away from the front for seven to eight seconds, during which the train ran about 200 meters.

JR West said Saturday it was considering disciplinary measures.

The driver, who belongs to the company's Kanazawa branch, took the photos through windowpanes Friday morning in Shiga Prefecture. He was quoted as saying the women were very attractive.(IHT/Asahi: August 24,2009)
