Officials said at least five died.
Three bodies were removed from

One newspaper reporter who
made an early estimate of 10 or
12 dead said he had seen alx
bodies.
More than 129 Injured were
rushed to seven hospitals In near

Tuesday as huge cranes tugged
at the cars thrown about like
matchstlcks.
Passengers aboard the Atlantic
Coast Line's Miami to New York
Filer were pitched about shortly
before midnight. General confusion
f Howed.
Those able to move grabbed
clothing, pocketbookj, and bag

frosty night, some barefooted
some half clothed.
Somebody built a big bonfire In
a collard patch. Scorea huddled
about the fire until they could get
rides into town.
Some of the Injured lay for hours

Northeast South Carolina tobacco
secuon, maintained a steadv u.
rade to and from half a dozen
swamped community hospitals.
Part of the train caught fire
and the burning oil, emergency
lights and cutting torches cast a
weird glow.
The wreck occurred shortly be
fore midnight, 2 miles south of

miles from Rennert, N. C, where
two CL passenger trains crashed

didn't know what happened. He
said a freight train covered the
same stretch only 10 minutes be
fore the Champion derailed.
The train's fireman, Charlie
Hunt, also of Rocky Mount, died
in his flaming locomotive. His
body was cut out. with torches.
Five coaches, seven Pullmans,
two diners, two lounge cars and
a baggage car comprised the
streamliner. Eleven overturned

Dozens of passengers were
trapped In the overturned cars.

She Joked with her rescuers until
a doctor reached her with a hypo

neath a car at 4:12 a.m. and taken
to a hospital.
A surgeon was lowered Into one
of the telescoped coaches to cut
off the left leg ot a woman in an
effort to free her.
Dabney said: "In one coach 1
saw three people pleading for
help. It seemed impossible that
anything, could be left of the legs
of any ol them.
"Wonderful first aid assistance
was given by several sailors who
were In the seven passenger cars
behind the locomotives."
Darwin Gardner ot Boston who
was In the last car, said: "There
were three bumps and then lt
sounded like an earthquake Just
before we left the track."
