Details of Event
Deceased was passing between two wagons of small coal, under the screens, in order to remove the scotch from under the hind wheel of the first wagon, so as to run it down the siding, when the second loaded wagon, also scotched, moved forward and blocked him between the buffers before either scotch was removed. The wagons were bumped on by others that were let in to the siding.
