Details of Event
He went to get a bucket of coal for the lamp room fire, and instead of going to the boilers or landsale screen near the lamp room he went to the best coal screens. When standing between two sets of rails he was warned that the waggons were to be moved and he replied "all right," but he evidently passed between them as they were closing on two others standing under the screens and was crushed between the buffers and killed.
