A worker doing installation work at Union Station suffered serious traumatic injuries after a several thousand pound cabinet fell over on him on Monday evening, January 22nd.
 
A rescue assignment was dispatched to the railroad station for what was reported as a person trapped under a piece of machinery. Firefighters were directed to the chiller room in the bowels of the building, where they found the injured man already removed from under the electrical cabinet.
 
He was treated and packaged by personnel from Medic 2, Engine 6, and Rescue Squad 1, and rushed to the Medstar trauma center.
