I worked in a plant that had a train come in every evening and connect to full railcars to pull them out. One guy got caught between two railcars as they were being coupled. The guy didn’t die right away as the coupled cars kept him from bleeding out. Had enough time to call his wife out to see and talk to him before they uncoupled the cars. He died right after they separated the railcars.

I heard this story when I worked at Valero in 2010ish. They never told me where it happened at

I wouldn't want that to be the last time my wife saw me.

You'd be amazed at how quiet a railcar that's been "kicked" in a storage track
can be. That's why you're never to be between the rails, especially at night.
