Wreck of ol' 97

NOTE: THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED AND IS TO BE REVISED WHEN TIME ALLOWS.

Now I know for a fact that this is amtrakf40's favorite song. So I'd like to dedicate this video to him.

Anyways, this is a reenactment of the wreck of Southern Railroad train no. 97. I didn't do alot of research on the wreck before filming, so there might be some errors in historical accuracy.

The song is by Johnny Cash, The wreck took place just out side of Danville Va. The did place when SOU RWY went off the bridge into a dry creek bed. Yes the engineer and crew and most of the passengers did die as a result. I know this as I have to been to the crash site. Some where around here I have the full lyrics to the song.

In the Southern's Fast Mail wreck of 27 September 1903 at Danville, VA, USA, Southern #1102, a 4-6-0 Baldwin in her first year of service, jumped the track short of the Cherrystone Creek trestle and "aileron-rolled" 270° right, hitting bottom on her left side; all five cars crashed atop her, only the last remaining anywhere near intact.
