Many railroaders thought that engine 169 (13 squared) was the unluckiest engine on the narrow gauge. Engineer David Wright and fireman Lester Thomas Knee (or Thomas Lester Knee) were killed on the head-on collision near Toltec, NM. in 1922. There was another man killed in another mishap. Who was he and where and when did the wreck occur?
