| On Friday,
July 8, 1932, just before 6:00 AM, a Southern Railway train wrecked at
Daphna, Virginia. The engine and coal car tipped while three
trailing cars stayed on the tracks. The engineer and fireman
were injured but survived the accident. According to an article in
the News-Record, estimates are that around 2,500 people gathered to
watch a large crane set the engine up on the tracks. By
mid-afternoon the train was towed away to Alexandria. The two
pictures below were taken by J. Ward Shank and are provided by Deb Nyce
from Daphna. Daphna Creek performs a song about the train wreck
which is also recorded on their Gospel Tracks CD. |
