Details of Event
When riding a journey of trams on the Abercarn Haulage Deep, he appears to have been on a shackle between two trams and falling off was run ever by the journey. It has been prohibited at this Colliery to ride the shackles, and a seat has been provided for use at the end of the journey. He had been cautioned by the overman against the practice only the day before the accident. (Mechanical haulage.).
