Narrative

EE was atempting to open a bottom dump railroad car into the track hopper. When the employee pulled on the handle to open it, she felt the doors did not open, so she decided to close the lever and try again. As she pushed on the lever to the close position, the handle snapped back suddenly catching her right ring finger.
