Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working on an axle of a flatbed rail car, which had been raised using a hydraulic jack. It was also chocked on opposite sides by multiple blocks of wood, which did not effectively block or support the load. A crane lowered another flatcar onto the track adjacent to the car on which Employee #1 was working. When the flatcar was set down, it rolled and struck a remixer car, which then bumped the flatbed car and knocked it off the jack. Employee #1 sustained a laceration when the derailed car came down on his hand.
