Investigation Summary
On December 28, 2001, several employees were involved in moving a railcar in order to switch tracks on the property of the employer. The railcar was being pulled with a tow chain tied to the rear of a tractor. After the tractor stopped, Employee #1 was trying to unhook the chain from the railcar, which was still in motion. Employee #1 was pinned between the taut chain and the railcar and suffered internal injuries around the stomach area. Surgical procedures were required to repair the damage and Employee #1 was hospitalized for seven days.
