On December 4, 2023, an employee was helping to move a hopper car. He was climbing the stairs to go to the other side of the hopper car when he slipped. His right foot went under the hopper car's wheel and a toe was amputated.

On March 25, 2022, an employee had just detached a string of empty rail cars away from some loaded cars. The string of detached cars was being taken ahead, and the employee began pulling the knuckle of a rail car into the open position. The string of detached cars then momentarily came back, and the employee was pinched between two cars. The employee suffered a broken right hip and was hospitalized.

At about 8:40 p.m., two employees (a groundsman and a switchman) were working in a rail yard, setting rail cars to be released from the site. The groundsman was watching the switchman connect an end-of-train device on the string of rail cars. While he was on the adjacent track, a locomotive on that track moved forward and struck him, knocking him over, injuring his right foot, and amputating his left leg above the knee.

On June 25, 2020, an employee was acting as a groundman to assist the locomotive driver in staging cars in the blast building. As the railcar was moving past a beam that is part of the building, the employee became pinned between the beam and the railcar and sustained a fractured pelvis.

An employee was coupling railcars near the melt shop. The employee's right foot was crushed between railcar couplers and toes were amputated by the steel toe of their boot. The employee was hospitalized and their leg was medically amputated from the knee down.
