Wrecked at Rougemont, NC on Aug. 27, 1949. Extra 1333 Class Z1b and 2152
Class Y6 doubleheaded, derailed causing the 1333 to turn over and
the 2152 leave the rail. <br><br>

<blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite="">I recall that as a youngster my
father took me from Roxboro to Rougemont (NC; thus the Durham line) to
see a train wreck. I would like to dig out some details of that wreck,
including local newspaper coverage (which requires me to pin down the
approximate date of the wreck).<br><br>
The online contents for The ARROW provide this information:<br>
Vol. 18, No. 4 July / August 2002 issue of The ARROW<br>
<b><i>Tales from the Front / Adventures on the Durham Line</i></b> - Fred
Reburn, Rob Minton. <br>

<b>Photo</b> The wreck at Rougemont, NC in 1949 brought quite a mess to a
local farmer's hog lot. (Fred Reburn Collection) <br>
<b>Photo</b> As Z-1 No. 1333 lies in the brush, one of the animals walks
calmly by on the right, apparently unperturbed by the disturbance. The
farmer, we assume, had a more vociferous reaction. (Fred Reburn
Collection)<br><br>
Can anyone provide the exact date of the wreck at Rougemont or direct me
to sources of information about the wreck?<br>
Thanks, Ed Clayton<br><br>
