(Guiana Graphic July 19th 1963).
Dhanraj, called Man-Man, 64 year old laborer of Kitty was yesterday morning crushed to death by the Rosignol-Georgetown train at Middleton Street Railway Crossing.
Shortly after 10 o’clock Dhanraj, father of five, left his Shell Road home and walked to the crossing.
There he spoke to a friend who was working near the railway line.
The friend told the Police that Dhanraj wanted to know if any trains had passed yet since he said he understood yesterday to be the day when trains would resume operations.
Then the Rosignol-Georgetown train blew its whistle as it was leaving Bel-Air and Dhanraj walked casually away from his friend.
The next thing he saw the Police were told, was Dhanraj’s mangle body lying across the tracks.
Police under Assistant Superintendent Percy Hintzen arrived on the scene and carried out investigations.
A post mortem examination will be held today.
