Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:15 p.m. on April 7, 2007, Employee #1, a plant fuel and ash technician, was performing the duties of a train brakeman during a coal unloading operation at a municipal power plant. As empty cars were moved out of the unloading area, Employee #1 was to ensure couplers were locked, or to reset the coupler to facilitate locking function. He was in radio communication with the train operator, who was simultaneously operating the train and the car dumper device. The last radio communication from Employee #1 stated that he was going to check a coupling. Radio contact with him was lost. Employee #1 was found lying between rails under the train he was working on. He was conscious at that time and was evacuated by air to Prince Georges County Shock Trauma, where he died during surgery.
