William"Pitt" Ballew

I am a story teller looking for information about William “Pitt” Ballew of Asheville NC. He was an engineer either on Asheville-Spartanburg railway or the Southern railway. 1903 wreck on Saluda Grade. Credited with safety turn out rails. Any information about Pitt would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail riversedgecamp@alltel.net. Particularly interested in before and after Saluda incidents. Thanks [:)]
