Hundreds Attend Funeral of Rail Worker By Emma Gunby, The Scotsman
Two rail workers had failed in a desperate bid to stop the runaway wagon involved in the accident.
One of the men was injured as he ran after the 17-ton trailer and held on to it with his bare hands, while the other worker tried to push rails from the vehicle in a desperate bid to block its path.
Details of the rescue attempt were included in a report by Network Rail safety director John Abbott, which also confirmed that the trailer had been secured by wood.
Health and safety experts said yesterday that brakes fitted to the trailer which killed the railway workers were not functional.------------------------------------------- posted 8:41 AM :: reference link ::
