Narrative

An employee was working the switchboard for a train to move through the plant. He gave the all clear signal, and the train began reversing on the tracks. The employee went to get onto the train as it was moving toward him when he missed the railing and fell underneath the train. The last railcar ran over both of his legs, amputating the legs above the knees.
