McGeorge Contracting Company Inc · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

The locomotive was coming back into the plant when EE had crossed over to the old scales side road. He got out of his truck & started to cross the tracks when the locomotive operator saw him. They heard him on the radio say he had broke the 7 car. A coworker asked another coworker if he could see him & when he looked back he saw him on the tracks. He had been hit by the locomotive.
