Abstract:
The Old '97 was the famous wreck near Danville, Virginia and the North Carolina state line in 1903. It was the fastest train on the Southern Line but she was forty-five minutes late and lost control trying to pick up speed. The wreck was immortalized in a ballad, and the engine that pulled the Old '97 is still in on the Marion to Rock Hill branch of the Southern Railway.
