Narrative

EE was opening a 3 ft by 8 ft fiberglass top railcar lid. He raised the lid and it became stuck. The employee went around hitting the door with a hammer to break the ice free. He then went back to the lid & gave a hard jerk; the lid became stuck again. At that time the employee felt a twinge and pain in his lower back. Rx Pain Drugs and Modified Duty.
