Final narrative
On January 6, 2022, two employees accessed the top of a series of rail cars to open the lids in preparation for loading the next day. Due to extremely cold and snowy conditions, the rail car lids were frozen shut. One of the employees fell approximately 14 feet to the frozen ground below, resulting in two broken ankles and hospitalization. Fall protection was not used at the time.
