Happened in Cherryville, NC....Garland Stutts was the engineer of the other train....he was rescued by a high school student who went into the engine barefooted...and helped pulled Mr. Stutts out of the engine....I believe Willie Strong was the brakeman on Mr. Pait's train....

Re: 1966 Train Wreck
My high school classmate, Donnie Black,who was a lifeguard at the local Swimming pool was on the lifeguard stand and saw this happened. He jumped down from the lifeguard stand and ran barefoot about 1/2 mile to where the trains were and jump up on the trains and helped pull the men out. I lived about a mile from where it happened and I have a picture of the wreck. I tried to submit it but it won't let me post it.
