What exactly do you think is wrong with the use of 'trains' in that sentence?

Well, just in case the excitement hasn't started to kick in yet, we're thrilled to be able to announce our 4th and final keynote speaker for the event… Mr Jacob Appelbaum!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Jacob Appelbaum (<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/ioerror" target="_blank">@ioerror</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum</a>) is a renowned, independent internet security professional, accomplished photographer, software hacker and world traveller.</div>
<div><br>A developer for The Tor Project, Appelbaum trains interested parties globally on how to effectively use and contribute to the Tor network. Since its initial release, Tor has enabled roughly 36 million people around the world to experience freedom of access and expression on the Internet while keeping them in control of their privacy and anonymity. Its network has proved pivotal in dissident movements in both Iran and more recently Egypt.<br>
<br></div><div>A driving force in the team behind the creation of the Cold Boot Attacks, Appelbaum won both the Pwnie for Most Innovative Research award and the Usenix Security best student paper award in 2008. Additionally, he was part of the MD5 Collisions Inc. team that created a rogue CA certificate by using a cluster of 200 PlayStations funded by the Swiss taxpayers. The "MD5 considered harmful today" research was awarded the best paper award at CRYPTO 2009.</div>
<div><br>He is also a staff research scientist at the University of WashingtonSecurity and Privacy lab. Appelbaum is also a founding member of the hacklab Noisebridge in San Francisco where he indulges his interests in magnetics, cryptography and consensus based governance.<br>
