   MTA (Baltimore, not NYC) conducting security review after light rail car   
   theft, crash in Linthicum   
      
   Maryland Transit Administration Police are investigating how a 21-year-old   
   was able to take control of a light rail car and ultimately crash it into   
   another locomotive.   
      
   Police arrested and charged 21-year-old Aidan Francis McDonnell with   
   trespassing, theft and reckless endangerment offenses after they say he   
   took control of the MTA train on Nov. 3. McDonnell, a Severna Park   
   resident, told officers that he drove the train out of the light rail shop   
   located at Cromwell Station in Glen Burnie using a manual from the   
   internet to get the 44-ton locomotive operational, according to charging   
   papers.   
      
   Footage from the incident shows that McDonnell entered the train at about   
   3:30 p.m. and drove it out of the light rail shop a short distance before   
   returning and switching to another track at about 4:15 p.m. He maneuvered   
   the train out of the rail yard, traveling northbound for about three miles   
   on a track being used by a southbound train, charging papers say.
