## Narrative

EE was helping haul supplies to the # 1 section. As the track motor rounded a curve on a steep grade, the motor man couldn't hold the motor back and it slid down the grade and struck another motor that was sitting at the bottom of the hill. EE was in the opposite end of the motor and received bruises to the back form being jolted against the track motor frame.
