Seeing something on the railway line he had approached what later turned out to be the body of platelayer Alfred Cammick.
Carter touched the body and said `Halloa' but there was no response.
Much shocked he at once advised the porter at the station but did not return to the body.
Mr. Cammick had last been seen at about ten o'clock the previous night, having left the White Hart at Magdalen Bridge shortly before.
5 trains had passed through after 10 o'clock.
Mr Cammick had died from severe head injuries and had been dragged for some distance.
The coroner returned an open verdict.
