In 1889, a massive late night storm caused a tiny creek at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains to turn into a raging river, and the rushing waters washed away an embankment where the railroad crossed the creek. Eighteen souls were lost when a passenger train plunged into the washout, and their story was forgotten, until now.
Written 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.
