The White man leaving the Taylor house fled via Rosewood, stopping at the home of Aaron Carrier, a Black man who worked as a crosstie cutter, according to Jenkins, who is Aaron Carrier’s niece.

Another person who was operating the equipment had finished tamping a crosstie, tried to stop at another crosstie but continued going forward and struck Morgan, who later died from his injuries.

A small crosstie fire broke out on the tracks, but was put out with a fire extinguisher, Washington Metrorail Safety Commission spokesman Max Smith said.

“Railroads simultaneously opened up whole new forests as well as new markets, while using tremendous amounts of timber for crossties.”

To create the needed clearance for taller trains, the tunnel’s arched ceiling would be notched, its floor would be lowered and steel crossties, which lie lower than wooden ones, would be installed.
