Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on July 22, 2015, Employee #1 was acting as a switcher on a three-man crew, tasked with moving rail cars. Employee #1 was standing on the first step of the locomotive while it was moving approximately 5-6 mph to the connector location. Based on the photographic evidence and a partial eye-witness, it appears that the employee was rolled under the fuel tank, which protrudes from the side of the locomotive. Employee #1 suffered multiple contusions to his upper torso and lacerations to his left thigh and left heel, resulting in his death.
