Details of Event
Whilst deceased was cleaning the rails under a stationary empty wagon, some full wagons were lowered against it, and caused it to pass over his foot. He died on 6th March, 1913. The accident might have been avoided if the person who lowered the full wagons had warned the deceased of his intention to move them.
