Man trapped by train rail in Harvey

The Harvey Volunteer Fire Department rescured for a man trapped beneath a piece of train rail. 
The Nackawic area man had been using a crane to load train rails from a tractor trailer to a train boxcar when a mechanical failure occurred. 
The operator was pinned in to the controls of the crane by a piece of rail, yet was able to dial 911 for assistance. 
The Jaws of Life was used to free the man who was then taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
