  	The Otago Witness 10 Jan 1906 A sad accident occurred at Sawyers' Bay railway siding on Friday, which culminated in the death of Mr. Frederick Logie, one of the most genial and popular officers in the railway service. It appears that Mr. Logie was in charge of the 10:15 a.m. train to Port Chalmers, and whilst engaged in shunting operations at Sawyers' Bay he lost his footing, falling in front of a loaded K waggon or covered van. His body got jammed between the rail and guard-iron of the axle box, and it is presumed that he was crushed to some extent by one of the wheels, which, however, did not pass over his body. The unfortunate man was immediately placed upon the train and conveyed to Port Chalmers, where he was met by Dr. Borrie, who had been previously apprised of the accident. An examination revealed extensive and severe injuries to the pelvic region and abdomen, his condition bein regarded as extremely critical. Dr. Borrie ordered his immediate removal to the Dunedin Hospital, accompanying the injured man thither by the return train, arriving in town shortly before noon. The sufferer retained consciousness for some hours, but toward evening he gradually sank, and expired at 7 p.m. Mr. Logie was the youngest son of the late Mr. C. Logie, who was Collector of Customs in Dunedin during the early sixties, and was born on August 23, 1854. He entered the railway service on October 1, 1874, and during his long and faithful service had been almost exclusively engaged on the Dunedin-Port Chalmers section, where his genial temperament and unfailing courtesy endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. His services to those requiring them were rendered so graciously that Guard Logie has long been regarded by travellers between Dundein and Port as a standard of comparison, consequently the news of the accident cast quite a gloom over his fellow officials and residents along the line. He was a steady and capable officer, and was highly esteemed by his colleagues, from the chief of staff downwards. Mr. Logie leaves a widow, two sons, and four daughters, three of whom are married. An inquest was held on Saturday, when the Jury returned a verdict that deceased met his death by being accidentally crushed by a railway waggon which he was engaged shunting from a railway train, and that no blame was atachable to anyone.
