Hearing he was riding on a shove and a tree fell onto the employee. That's some terrible timing.

It could even be quiet enough to almost not know anything was coming either... that could be as simple timing as looking down for 5 seconds before getting on the shove a mile back. That’s scary.

Well kinda, it didn't fall on him, but it was much worst than that
CSX_CO: 10 minutes, keep hoping the yard blows up and I won't have to go in tonight.
CSX_CO: Hump Hump Hump all night long, hump all night while I sing this song. See those cars, going to make them fly, sure hope the double o' eight is on time

Well, with out being too graphic, what really happened??
Re: CSX Employee Fatally Injured in Fostoria.
The impression I got was that he was riding a shove move and was impaled by tree branch which had fallen into the right of way. This caused fatal injuries. This impression is from discussions on other forums which discussed in incident and the issue of trees / branches near the ROW became a topic of conversation. Putting two and two together may give you the cause of death in this case.joeyuboats wrote: ↑Sun Dec 13, 2020 5:17 pmWell, with out being too graphic, what really happened??
