Details of Event
Deceased brought a loaded waggon of driff from a siding to the firehole for boilers, and apparently left eight others behind and while he was about the waggon the others came slowly down upon him and he was first crushed between the waggons and the wall thrown under and then run over. The waggons were insufficiently secured.
