    EAGLE PASS, TX — A former driver for RailCrew Xpress LLC has filed a federal lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Virginia Lechler claims she endured persistent unwanted advances and comments from supervisors at Union Pacific Railroad, where she was contracted to work, and that her complaints were ignored, leading to her termination after her husband confronted one of the alleged harassers.
