- Details of Event
- Deceased and another person were moving an empty wagon at the screens. Deceased uncoupled the wagon from another empty wagon and it moved forward but he seems to have left the brake on the other wagon insufficiently pinned down as it moved forward gently and crushed him against the first wagon. The day was very windy and the rails were greasy and this no doubt contributed to the accident.
