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. Hal
Here's a variety of singers of 'Old 97' for you @Hal Pollner not overly keen on Hank snow's version...
