Narrative

Employee was waiting at the 65 780 laydown for the mantrip to pick them up after the rounds had been initiated at the end of shift. The train was late due to a muck-car with a BO axle. This delay exposed the miners to blast smoke at the laydown for a period of time resulting in a gas exposure. Employee was transported to the hospital and was taken off of work.
