WRECK OF THE 97

'Twas the twenty-second day of that November
And the clouds were hanging low
He took old 97 out of Washington station
Like an arrow shot from a bow

This version of the lyrics mentions November, but in fact the accident took place in September of 1903. Other versions, usually under the title "Wreck of the Old 97," don't mention a date at all.
Here's the 1924 recording by Vernon Dalhart, said to be the first country music hit record.
