    The King of all Train Songs is about a derailing disaster on a high trestle that occurred in 1903 in Danville, Virginia.

    Vernon Dalhart was the composer, but it was recorded by all the top Country and Folk singers.

    The title is: "The Wreck of the Old 97".

    Go to YouTube and listen to the version by Hank Snow. The Boxcar Willie version is good too.
