Ghosts of the 505

On July 3, 1927, Maine Central locomotive number 505 exploded while helping get a train up through Crawford Notch the Mountain Division in New Hampshire. Engineer Robert Morse and Fireman Oscar Clemons both died from injuries sustained in the wreck, and the locomotive was scrapped. This song, with lyrics by Ben "Gitty" Baker and a tune adapted from the old Irish traditional song “Brennan On the Moor”, is performed Ben’s Band Eastwood Station. It tells the story of that fateful day in 1927 with song, video and historic photos. In writing the lyrics, Ben strove to stay as close as possible to the historical account of the event as recorded by railroad historians.
