Narrative

EE #1 was loading a RR car underneath the loading glove. EE #2 was above the loading chute preparing to bring more empty cars from the storage area. While letting the air off the first empty RR cars, they took off down the track. These runaway cars struck the car being loaded under the chute knocking EE #1 off of the car. The collision resulted in fracture of his right foot.
