"Dutchman's Curve"......
the sorrowful tale of the worst accident in American railroad history, told by descendants of witnesses and victims and by railroad historians.

Two passenger trains on the historic Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway collided in a corn field a few miles west of Nashville Tennessee on July 9, 1918. Nearly one hundred passengers and at least thirty NC&St.L employees lost their lives at Dutchman's Curve.

Photographs documenting the hours following the accident, taken by NC&St.L photographer Henry Hill Sr. are featured in this film.

"Dutchman's Curve" includes the recollections of Elizabeth Jacobs. She was twelve years old in 1918. She was awakened on the morning of July 9th by the loud bang made by the collision.

The documentary, "Dutchman's Curve" will premier in Nashville Tennessee later this year.
