Narrative

employees were moving railcars when the employee was told over the radio that the railcars weren't slowing down. The employee jumped on the end railcar and attempted to tighten the hand brake on the lead railcar, but was unable to do so before the front car hit the derailleur and jumped off breaking their left leg.
