The plaintiff, whose name was not released, successfully sued commuter rail operator Krasprigorod in a Krasnoyarsk court, claiming "physical and moral suffering" as a result of being stuck for two hours in a train station Oct. 31, 2010, when he was unable to make his way through the crowded station to board his train, RIA Novosti reported Tuesday.

Court spokeswoman Natalya Mishanina said a judge ruled the railroad operator was culpable because it had failed to provide safe and quality services to the plaintiff, who had originally sought $1,550, but was awarded only $230. A spokesman for Krasprigorod said the company will pay the amount and will not appeal.
