Joseph M. Bramlett, 40, section foreman, saved Alfred L. Carson, 4, from being killed by a train, Smyrna, Georgia, May 4, 1926. Alfred was in an automobile when it was driven onto a railroad crossing and became stalled on the track on which a train was approaching at a speed of 30 m.p.h. The other occupants of the automobile left it. Bramlett ran to the automobile, reaching it when the locomotive was 250 feet distant, pulled Alfred out, and ran from the track with him. He was but a few feet in the clear when the train, which had reduced speed only slightly, struck the automobile. 26237-2237
