Individual page 

Murray, Edward, aged 31, Ashwheeler, These two men and a third went to bring a truck of coal down from the sidings to the boiler fire-holes. They uncoupled the first truck but omitted to see that the second truck was made fast; it crept away and overtook them, crushing these two men, who were pushing at the buffers, but not injuring the third man, who was pushing against the centre bar. The gradient was 1 in 124
