GAVLE, Sweden, April 7 (UPI) -- A Swedish rail worker has been given a second warning for causing train delays because he was viewing pornographic Web sites, officials say.
The Swedish Rail Administration disciplinary board gave the 52-year-old employee a slap on the hand last month, The Local reported. It was the second time in the past two years the Gavle station worker has been reprimanded for his porn-watching and online gambling site visits.
The Local said the signal caller not only affected passenger and freight train traffic by failing to keep train drivers updated on developments, but he has also caused the administration's network to become infected with computer viruses -- and has fallen asleep on the job and been tardy for work repeatedly, The Local said.
The disciplinary board told the man any further neglect of his duties would be dealt with more severely, the report said.
