Article from the Corning Leader: http://www.the-leader.com/articles/2004/01/21/local_news/local04.txt Man dies in rail yard accident By john Michael Goff PAINTED POST | A 55-year-old Cameron man fell to his death Tuesday afternoon at the Norfolk Southern Railroad Yard in Erwin. Painted Post State Police said Norfolk Southern employee, Donald L. Gunn, of Cameron, died at Corning Hospital shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday from injuries he sustained during an accident at the rail yard. Gunn was on a crane mounted on a rail car when he slipped on a ladder and fell approximately 9 feet to the ground around 1:15 p.m. Police said he slipped on hydraulic fluid, according to state police. A hydraulic hose had previously ruptured and covered the crane's surface with a fluid, said Painted Post State Police Inv. Jeff Miller. "Everything is still under investigation," said Rudy Husband, regional representative of Norfolk Southern Railroad. "At this point, we haven't confirmed any of the circumstances." Co-workers near the scene allegedly heard the fall and immediately rendered assistance to Gunn. Rural-Metro Ambulance arrived at the scene and transported Gunn to Corning Hospital where he was pronounced dead. "He did suffer head injuries," Miller said. "There was indication he hit his head." Additional information will be available after Gunn's autopsy is completed by the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office in Rochester. Reply Edit Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join.
