Stumbled across an interesting article about a train wreck
in mississippi around 4:18 a.m. on Feb 16, 1939.

The Sunnyland Limited collided head-on with a Frisco freight
headed south near Quincy, Miss.

Engineer George Bowers died in the wreck with his
hand locked on the brake. No other fatalities mentioned.

According to the article, no song was ever written about it?

Anyone have any additional information on this?
