Join us for the incredible true story of the man known as the "Héroe de Nacozari"—a humble railroad worker who made the ultimate sacrifice to save thousands of lives.
In the early 20th century, the town of Nacozari, Sonora, was a bustling hub for the Polaris Mine, fueling the world’s obsession with copper. But in 1907, a routine transport turned into a nightmare when a train loaded with dynamite caught fire in the center of town.
In this episode of Honourable Mentions, we follow the life of Jesus Garcia Corona, the "railroad heartthrob" who chose to drive the burning locomotive away from the population rather than jump to safety.
We explore the industrial boom of early 1900s Mexico, the high-stakes world of copper mining history, and the enduring legacy that led to the creation of Día del Ferrocarrilero (Day of the Railroad Worker).
From selfless bravery and heartbreak to fortune-telling chickens, this is the definitive account of one of history's greatest acts of courage.
