Welford, George William, 16 Apr 1924, 12.55 p.m., 7th hour of shift, aged 33, Engine Driver, Deceased was driving a small locomotive on a surface tramway with a gauge of 2 ft. 4 ins. When approaching a timber stack where there was only 6 ins. clearance, he leaned out of the side of the cab and his head was crushed against the timber. He was instantly killed. He should have used the cab windows. As the tramway is through a quarry 30 yards wide, with refuse banked up on each side, the space for timber storage is very restricted
