Final narrative
A temporary employee was tacking end plates onto a railroad tie by hand. They reached over to the press that completes the attachment of the end plate after the rail tie crosses over a limit switch. The limit switch activated, resulting in a crush injury to the employee's left index and middle fingers that required medical amputation. The machine was guarded at the time.
