At 9:30 a.m. on November 8, 2015, an employee was cleaning the inner lining of a railcar that was previously transporting latex. The employee lost consciousness while inside of a railcar with an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. First responders attempted to rescue the employee but could not revive/resuscitate them. A second employee who entered the railcar lost consciousness and was rescued and transported to the local hospital for treatment. A third employee fell from the ladder inside of the railcar to the bottom of the car, lost consciousness, was able to conduct a self-rescue, and was transported to the local hospital for treatment.
