Abstract: At approximately 9:10 a.m. on January 3, 1995, a crew of workers were re-railing a small railroad car carrying salt that had derailed while being towed behind a locomotive on a salt pan. A front loader with chain slings attached to its bucket was being used to lift the car back onto the tracks. Employee #1 was holding a chain sling, and as the lift was started, the salt car lurched and caught his hand against the loader's bucket. He required hospitalization.
