    There is a song about the C&O that has at least three different titles. Name that tune!! Hint: Last five words in the song are"nearer my god to thee"

    Well, - I gave everyone a fair chance:
    Engine 143
    I think it was first recorded by the Carter Family.

    I think I know one for sure - The Wreck on the C&O.

    This song originated based on a landslide near Hinton, West Virginia in 1890, and a wreck that ocurred as a result. At least that's the story I was told!
