## 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.
