Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:45 a.m. on March 23, 1987, Employee #1, a maintenance worker, was on the load rack observing coal being loaded by a conveyor belt into a railcar. The dual chutes became clogged. Employee #1 apparently climbed a ladder to the top platform and got on the conveyor belt to look into the hopper. The belt was restarted and carried Employee #1 into the hopper. He was buried under the coal and died of suffocation. There were no witnesses to the accident.
