Details of Event
Inspection made and inquest attended. Deceased was attempting to get on a loaded bogie as it was slowly moving up the inclined engine plane when he slipped and the bogie passed over him inflicting injuries from which he died five days later. The workmen had been accustomed to riding instead of walking up the incline a distance of 300 yard but the practice has now been wisely prohibited.
