Details of Event
Deceased, after ticketing wagons, was crossing the rails between empty and loaded wagons, which were 8 feet apart and spragged, and at rest under the screens, when, without warning, a locomotive owned and worked by the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company pushed the empty wagons over a "scotch," and he was caught and killed.
