Narrative

Employees were attempting to open a bottom rail car door that was jammed. The injured employee was using a bar to open the door and the door unjammed suddenly as the employee was pushing down on the bar. The bar made contact with the track, pinning the employee's left pinkie finger between the track and the bar. The employee experienced a fractured finger tip and required stitches.
