Brother Steven Barber of Local 1346 in Nashville, Tenn., lost his arm during last week’s solar eclipse while working as a foreman. Management was unavailable during the incident at Radnor yard because they were watching the eclipse, delaying emergency treatment to Barber.
The FRA is investigating the incident. No word has been given on the condition of Brother Barber. SMART TD extends their deepest sympathies to Brother Barber and wishes him a speedy recovery.
