Abstract: On October 9, 2008, an employee was moving a double railcar loaded with green lumber, attempting to position it for pickup by the railroad. He was moving the two cars using a forklift. He became concerned that the cars were moving too fast, and he dismounted the forklift and climbed between the two railcars to engage the brake. The leading railcar struck an unattended engine. The impact jarred the employee off the braking platform and onto the railcar coupler. The coupler compressed horizontally into its mounting housing, jamming the employee's right foot into the housing as well, and crushing his toes. Due to the crushing incident, the employee's toes had to be surgically amputated. The employee was hospitalized.
