Lost at Thaxtton
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 withstand the power of the rising
water, and Norfolk & Western passenger train Number Two plummeted into a
hole in the earth. There in the valley beneath the shadow of the towering
Peaks of Otter, passengers and crew scrambled from the wreckage and water
in a life-or-death struggle.
