- Details of Event
- He was travelling up an incline with a pony. A train of full tubs passed him safely, but afterwards a coupling broke and the tubs ran back and though they were derailed by the drag they crushed Tomlinson against a prop. He should not have travelled the incline whilst the tubs were being hauled up.
