VERMILION, Ohio — A Norfolk Southern employee fell from a railroad trestle Monday night into the Vermilion River.
The man separated his shoulder and suffered some scrapes, police Chief Robert Kish said.
A nearby boater pulled the man to safety.
The railroad worker was replacing a railroad tie, Norfolk Southern spokesman Rudy Husband said. He would not identify the employee, but said the man suffered “non-life-threatening injuries.”
