RailCorp prosecuted over track worker's death

RailCorp prosecuted over track worker's death: Railcorp is being prosecuted for the first time in its history by the state's transport safety watchdog, following the death of a track worker struck by a train at Kogarah.

Tamati Grant, 59, died attempting to scramble clear of a southbound train from Hurstville just after 1am on April 13, 2010.


The fatality was attributed to the failure of a RailCorp employee, an area controller, at the train operator's Sydenham signalling complex to alert Mr Grant's cleaning team of the impending arrival of the train.
