Too many wagons had been put on a set of rails with the result that one of them fouled a crossing. The deceased was passing between the buffers of the wagon, when another train of wagons, which was being slowly moved by gravity a parallel set of rails, touched the wagon which was fouling the crossing and he was fatally crushed between the buffers.
