NWHS Commissary: Lost at Thaxton

[NW Mailing List]

*Lost at Thaxton* <http://www.nwhs.org/commissary/new.html>

A storm like no one had ever seen caused tiny Wolf Creek in Thaxton,
Virginia to rage in the darkness of night. An earthen fill that carried the
railroad over the creek could not hold, and N&W passenger train Number Two
plummeted into a hole in the earth that July 1889 night.

Written and extensively researched by the great-great grandson of the
railroad section master at Thaxton, Lost at Thaxton tells the forgotten
story of one of the worst railroad accidents in the history of Virginia,
and the people that lived and died that night.
