In going through my grandfathers things, we discovered a medal awarded to my grandfather H. T. Hogg from BLE for Division 779 for Heroic Services March 13, 1913 Warm Springs, GA. My grandfather never told us this story and we are facinated to learn what could have happened. Any ideas on where to look?

You can get contact information for The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at their Web site. They might have records of awards that members receive:

Southern Railway owned the line through Warm Springs. You might ask the folks on the Southern Q&A Forum if anything unusual happened on March 13, 1913:
