A Jackson County jury on Wednesday awarded $1.27 million to a woman whose attorney said she was railroaded out of her career as a train forewoman because of gender discrimination.

Eickhoff, of Oak Grove, claimed that the railroad's male management began harassing her shortly after she was promoted to the position of forewoman in spring 2007.
