September 27: - The Wreck of the Old 97 occurred on the way into Danville, when the engineer was travelling too fast to make the curve and crashed at Stillhouse Trestle in 1903. The ballad includes these lyrics:; It's a mighty hard road from Lynchburg to Danville; A road with a three-mile grade.; It was on that grade that he lost his airbrake,; You can see what a jump she made.; He was goin' down the grade making 90 miles an hour,; When his whistle broke into a scream,; He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,; He was scalded to death by the steam.
