The plaque reads
It was from this coach that superintendent Charles Henry Ryall was dragged and killed by a man-eating lion at Kima station on 6th June 1900.
Ryall was a superintendent of the railway police. A plan to attract and shoot a man-eating lion involved dropping this coach in the loop at Kiwa station overnight and leaving the windows open to attract the lion into the coach. Unfortunately Ryall fell asleep.
