## Narrative

While attempting to shift approach rail away from the #6 scale rail, the joint bolts were removed and a steel wedge was driven into the gap to force joints to tighten the gap that opened up in the joint. The new bolts were installed and the wedge was hit with a 10-lb. sledge hammer. The wedge jumped out and flew into EE's leg causing the injury to occur.
