Train engineer speaking with Havelock rescue chief
- Title
- Train engineer speaking with Havelock rescue chief
- Description
- A black and white photograph of train engineer, Gerald Johnson, speaking with rescue chief John Julian and another man. The photo was originally taken for The Havelock Progress to accompany an article about a train accident. The article tells how two young children, Samantha and Shaniena Tompakov, were nearly killed while playing on the railroad tracks but were saved by the quick thinking of the train’s front end brakeman, Joe Dunn. The youngest child, who was in the middle of the tracks, was ordered to lie down so that she went under the train, while the other child was next to the tracks and escaped with minor injuries.
