Injured Workman in Path of Oncoming Train
Prompt action by workmates prevented a tragedy in the gloom and smoke of the Summit Tunnel yesterday morning, when an injured man fell across the lines into the path of an oncoming train. Mr Harry Marshall (41) was working on a scaffold when he fell to the floor, injuries to his ribs rendered him helpless. He was pulled to safety by his colleagues when the train was about three hundred yards away. He was transferred to Rochdale Infirmary by motor ambulance.
