Narrative

EE was changing a locomotive draw bar to a different style. He leaned the first drawbar against the loci and while he was positioning the second bar the first one fell and struck his little finger. This accident was not reported until 9/5/12 and we just got a diagnosis 9/25/12 due to his having an anomalous physiology resulting from a birth defect on that hand.
