## Narrative

During the process of moving railcars an experienced employee needed to maneuver a rail switch to change the track. The shaft of the rail switch was not easy to maneuver, so the employee applied additional force by stepping on the switch. The switch went into place unexpectedly and the employee felt/heard a ""pop"" in left calf. The Employee was given a prescription medication.
