On November 7, 1907, Mexican railroad brakeman Jesús García saved the town of Nacozari by driving a burning train loaded with dynamite six kilometers away from the town before it exploded, sacrificing his own life in the process. His heroism is honored as the town was renamed Nacozari de García and November 7 is now celebrated as "Railroad Workers' Day" (Día del Ferrocarrilero) in Mexico.
