## Narrative

Employee was coupling railcars to locomotive. When he noticed at the last minute that the draw heads were not lining up, used his left foot to push the draw head on the railcar.  His foot slipped and was caught in the couplings, crushing his toes. Three toes were surgically moved later that night.  (Little toe and next 2 amputated - all proximal phalange.)
