Mr. Caputo had been the railroad’s chief measurement officer, leading a crew on a track geometry car that inspects the rails to identify areas that need repairs.

His name is Thomas Caputo, and he was the chief measurement operator at the Long Island Rail Road — a job that involves operating a track geometry car that inspects the rails to identify areas that need repairs.
