## Narrative

An employee was loading a corn train and opening and closing the top hatches of the grain rail cars. As the employee unhooked the snap hook of their self-retracting lifeline (SRL) that was temporarily hooked to a rail car, the cars began to move. The employee's left index finger was caught between the snap hook and the rail car, resulting in partial amputation.
