Narrative

EE was in the process of recovering rail off of the old #4 track entry. They had been using a rope to load the rail onto the rail car. EE told the motor man to pull the motor and rail car outby when the rope got caught on the side post of the rail car causing 2 rails lying on the mine floor to move outby and strike EE behind knee knocking EE to the mine floor.
