Amazing he didn’t bleed to death. But I would speculate the weight pinched the arteries shut.

Responded to a report of man down on the RR right of way and found an adult male, severely intoxicated and missing his legs below the knees and both arms just above the wrists...

Apparently he had tried to hop a slow mover and fallen under the wheels, severing his legs...Then he attempted to reach for and grab his severed legs and lost both hands...

A freight car has a gross weight in vicinity of 300K lbs!

Crush injuries were so severe there was very little to no bleeding...
