Details of Event
In tightening a clip on a full train of tubs when in motion, he got his head caught between the top of a tub and a bar supporting the roof and was killed. He ought to have signalled to the engineman to stop the rope before attempting to tighten the clip. It is a very low road, and the danger in working about tubs in motion was thereby greatly increased.
