Abstract: At 9:53 a.m. on June 20, 2019, an employee was being trained how to move railcars to a loading area by a coworker. The employee released the brakes on a railcar to guide it to desired location. The employee was slowly applying the brakes to slow the railcar as his coworker gave directions about the process to slow the railcar. The railcar was not slowing down fast enough causing the employee to panic and jump off the railcar platform as it approached a parked railcar being loaded. The employee incurred a fractured leg and was hospitalized.
