Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on September 16, 2016, an employee was checking a rail line with a level during railroad spur line tamping and reconstruction operations. The contracted employee was checking the rail line spur's level, which was approximately 15-20 feet from the north wall of the flat storage building (East), when the wall collapsed and the employee was engulfed in grain (wheat). The employee was pushed under the tamper by the force of the grain and was trapped. The employee was killed from asphyxiation.
