  Being dragged 80ft because you're voluntarily doing something against the rules (don't attempt to board a moving train is like 1950s level workplace safety stuff, everyone has it on the books) isn't considered an event worth mentioning in the kind of workplace where people get turned into pancakes if they're not careful. It was 2001, OSHA was much more amenable to internal handling of these kinds of things back then.

  It sounds like they got dragged 80 feet without a reportable injury. The incident itself was reportable to the FRA.
