Narrative

Employee was pulling rail when it caught on the track and a car on the track. Tension was still on the wire rope that was pulling the rail. The employee used a pry bar to free the rail. When he did, the rail moved a few inches and forced the pry bar toward the car with the employee's right hand between the pry bar and the shelter that was on the car. EE worked until 5/12/08.
