Tr * Film From Page 1-A statewide by Bob Mickey. Rex Gregory, a vice president with Norfolk-Southern, was the cameraman. North School students were us- ed for two hours Tuesday and two hours Thursday to shoot scenes of a schoool bus stranded on the tracks. Ms. Dratwick said Norfolk-Southern did not schedule any trains for the Kings Mountain stretch of tracks dur- ing the time the film was being shot, so there was no danger of children being in the path of an actual oncoming train. The train-school bus crash scene was shot using model trains and school buses. “Mr. Mickey of the School Transportation Department, and local school officials and bus per- sonnel were great to cooperate with us on short notice,” Ms. Dratwick said. “The Margrace and Archdale crossings were selected by Mr. Mickey, not because they are dangerous crossings but because they were good, clear crossings for shooting the film.” Actors were secured through an agency in Charlotte to play the part of bus drivers and the ghost, who died in an accident 10 years earlier, Actors who played bus drivers had to be certified as bus drivers by the Schools Transportation Division. Jen- nifer Lee of Charlotte played the wliftle girl. ' “This was a good experience for/ our children,” said Kings Mountain Schools Superinten- dent Bob McRae. ‘‘We ap- preciate their parents for allow- ing them to take part in this, and we appreciate the cooperation of North Principal Joey Hopper and his staff. This will benefit schools nationwide as they train bus drivers in safety.” Page 2A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Wednesday, November 16, 1988 Students Await Train...
