FILE - In this Dec. 1, 2013 photo, Metro North Railroad engineer William Rockefeller is wheeled on a stretcher away from the area where the commuter train he was operating derailed, killing four people, in the Bronx borough of New York. The deadly derailment last year, in which the “dazed” engineer was found to have sleep apnea, has pushed the commuter railroad to look into establishing screening for the condition, which could include measuring operators’ necks and asking them and their spouses about snoring habits. A Metro-North spokesman confirmed the railroad that serves New York City’s northern suburbs is working with unions on sleep apnea screening, but he cautioned nothing has been decided.(AP Photo/Robert Stolarik, File)
