Details of Event
Bennett was engaged in unloading slack at the elevators, when the locomotive brought additional wagons to be unloaded. The force of the impact between the moving and standing wagons caused Bennett to fall through the bottom door of the wagon he was in and 3 wagons passed over him. It is said that the shunter had warned Bennett that the locomotive was bringing additional wagons.
