Narrative

An employee was manually pushing a center steel partition to align it in a railcar when his foot slipped. He reached up to the edge of the railcar to catch himself while the ram of the hydraulic radar pusher was coming down. The employee's middle and ring fingers on his right hand were caught in a pinch point, resulting in the amputation of his fingertips.
