Questions during the trial asked why Lupia didn’t open a cab window, but NJ Transit operating rules require that an engineer’s face and head cannot be exposed to a window opening, limiting opening of the window to about an inch. When he passed out, he hit his head on metal in the cab and suffered permanent hearing loss, eyesight damage, and almost constant balance and dizziness issues, Lupia’s attorney, Scott Fitzgerald, told NJ.com. He eventually passed out, but first was able to make an emergency call for help and activate emergency brakes to stop the train in Summit, N.J. He could have been fired for refusing to do so, according to the suit. Scott Lupia, 47, filed a Federal Employer’s Liability Suit after a July 21, 2020, incident in which he was ordered to operate a Morristown Line train whose locomotive reached a cab temperature recorded at 114 degrees by a trainmaster, according to court documents.
