Removal without chopping him up could be a challenge.

Re: Sugar Company Employee Ends Up Dead Under Locomotive
The company doesn't even care they'll do anything to scrape it off the track so they get everything back up and running cuz the only thing they care about the numbers and that's profits. Rest in peace to the poor victim, May is soul rest in peace

Re: Sugar Company Employee Ends Up Dead Under Locomotive
The rail trucks must be from 1920 or before. Those are called "Arch-Bar Trucks", and are made out of bars of metal bent to shape. They were outlawed in the U.S. in the 1930's because they would fracture at bolt holes, but would stay in place and look like they were fine, until something jarred them, and they just fell apart, while spilling humans all over the tracks. They were replaced with trucks that used all castings, so if they cracked, it was easily visible and train crews walking by them could see there was a problem. "Arch-Bar Trucks" were the "Lauries" of the railroad world.  |

Mary Poppins even noticed that a spoonful of sugar helps you go down more easily.  |
