Details of Event
He was killed by an empty railway wagon whilst crossing the sidings. He had taken water to throw on hot cinders and the cloud of steam made him unable to see the wagon approaching. The Coroner’s Jury thought that there had not been sufficient warning given by the shunter of the wagon.
