Final narrative
Three employees were unloading fertilizer from rail cars. One of them was dislodging a hard chunk of material (potash) hanging down from under a car. When the piece broke free, it forced the employee's right hand against a grate, pinching the index finger. The employee was hospitalized and underwent a medical amputation to the fingertip.
