## Narrative

The EE had just positioned the rail car in place for material loading. EE locked the brakes up on the rail car and stepped down on the ground to walk back to the rail car loading station, and stepped on the south rail of the rail road track. The rail was slick from the rain and EE's foot slid off the rail sideways causing EE to roll ankle over to the side.
