Narrative

After filing sanders of his 50 ton motor located on the #2 empty track, he walked to the wire side of the track where he slipped on packed snow between the rails. He fell, landing on his right elbow and shoulder. At the end of his shift he felt a little sore and filed a report in case something became of it later. He worked until an MRI revealed that the rotator cuff was damaged.
