| Death | 29 March 1933 (aged 32 years) HEAD CUT OFF Frightful Railway Fatality EX-MUDGEE MAN'S DEATH ONE of the most shocking railway fatalities reported in the west for years occurred at Lithgow yesterday afternoon, when Alan Phillip Bailey, a member of a well-known Mudgee district family, was struck by a shunting engine, and, falling beneath the wheels, had his head severed. The body, which bore practically no injuries, lay between the two lines on the departure "road," while the head was some feet away. The accident took place shortly before 2 o'clock, and it is not definitely known how it occurred. It is believed, however, that Bailey was engaged in coupling an engine to a number of stock trucks shortly before his death. He was working on the "up" line, and it is understood he jumped off the engine to give the guard the right-away signal, when he backed into the locomotive on the departure line, which runs alongside. Apparently his shoulder was struck by the second engine, and the unfortunate man, after being spun round, was thrown underneath the wheels, one of which severed his head. The ambulance was summoned and the body was removed to the morgue. Bailey was of a likeable disposition, and was very popular amongst his fellow workmen, among whom be was familiarly known as "Harry." A wife and family of three children survive. Mrs. J. Loughrey, of Denison street, and Mrs P. Cox, of Court street, Mudgee, are sisters, and sincere sympathy will be extended to them in their terrible bereavement. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 30 March 1933, p. 2. Allan Bailey Death Death LATE MR. BAILEY How He Met His End Accidental Death An inquiry concerning the death of Alan Philip Bailey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey of the Mudgee show ground, was held at Lithgow on Friday, when a verdict of accidental death was returned. Constable Turner said he went to the scene of the fatality and found the body, which was under the engine, lying parallel with the line, and the head, which had been severed was about four feet away. Witness ascertained that deceased had coupled a pilot engine to the main engine of a stock train. He then washed his hands in the main engine, and got off in the usual manner, taking a couple of paces toward the departure road, on which a shunting engine was slowly proceeding. Deceased, at the moment, tried to get a signal from the guard of the stock train, and was struck by the tender of the other engine. He fell over the brake bar at the rear of the tender in endeavoring to get free, and his body went under the wheels. Cecil McCann, a railway fireman, said Driver Robertson accompanied him on the engine which struck Bailey. When nearly opposite the stock train engine, he saw deceased alight, take a few paces to-ward the coal stage, and then take a step behind the tender of the shunting engine. Witness told the driver to stop, and when he jumped off, the body was found under the footboard. Henry Jenkins, a section man, said he saw deceased step in front of the tender, and before witness could utter a warning, Bailey was swung around and thrown under the wheels. Bertie Glen Bailey, fettler, gave formal evidence regarding identification of his brother's body. Deceased's widow, Daphne Victoria Bailey, said her husband was a native of Mudgee. His life was insured under two small policies. After returning the verdict, the coroner said the tragedy was one of the most distressing he had come in contact with, but he was satisfied no neglect had been shown, nor was any blame attachable to anyone. "It is one of those things that happen and I suppose will occur again," he added. "This unfortunate man probably took a risk, but as is well known shunters carry their lives in their hands." Mr. Bamber expressed sympathy for the widow and relatives, as also did Messrs. Ogden, Farley, Davidson and Sergeant Lucas. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 6 April 1933, p. 7. Allan Bailey Death |
