I put this slide show together of some of the train wrecks and derailments in the Newfoundland Railway System (1881-1988) with audio of "The Wreck of Old 97" recorded in 1924 by Vernon Dalhart. Incidentally, the flip side of Dalhart's record was "The Prisoner's Song". Dalhart's record was the first million selling country music record. The pictures were obtained from several books by Clayton D. Cook, well known Newfoundland Railway historian. Regards, sta66ord
