The Wreck Of The 1262 Lyrics - On Stage - Doc Watson

She just left the point at Kittanning 

The train number 1262 

And on down the mountain she travelled 

So brave with her men in her crew 

 

And the engineer pulled at the whistle 

For the brakes didn't work when applied 

And the brakeman climbed out on the car top 

For he knew what that whistle have cried 

 

With all of the strength that God gave him 

He tightened those brakes with a prayer 

But the train went right on down that mountain 

Her whistle still piercing the air

She travelled that sixty an hour 

Gaining speed every foot of the way 

And than with a crash it was over 

And there on the track the freight lay 

 

Now it's not the amount of the damage 

Or the value of what that rail cost 

It's the sad scene they found in the cabin 

Where the life of two brave men was lost 

 

They found them at their post in the wreckage 

Where they died when the engine had fell 

The engineer still held the whistle 

And the fireman still hung to the bell

Here the story is told of the freight train 

But it should be a warning for all 

We need to be prepared every moment 

For we can never tell when he calls
