On Saturday January 5, 2007, I began composing this tribute to the victims of Dutchman's Curve.

It was my interest in the travelers who died in the train wreck that inspired me to research this disaster. I was compelled to make their acquaintance.

I am humbled and honored to tell their story.

Notes From Betsy Thorpe

Jerry Stringfellow and I are currently updating the "Peoples Stories" with period photographs and relevant images. All train wreck photo's are of The Dutchman's Curve accident and were taken by NC&Stl photographer, Henry Hill. This is a long term project and will take some time to complete.
