- Engine_One-Forty-Three abstract "\"Engine One-Forty-Three\" is a ballad in the tradition of early American train wreck songs, based on the true story of the wreck of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's Fast Flying Virginian (FFV) near Hinton, West Virginia on 23 October 1890. The train was on its way to Clifton Forge, Virginia, when it hit a rock slide. Early accounts record that the engineer, George Alley, remained on the train to try to slow it and save the lives of its passengers. Alley died at the scene, but the fireman is said to have jumped to safety. The ballad elaborates the story, including a mother (not alive at the time of the wreck), excessive speed (a popular theme in train wreck songs), and a motive (a prior delay, and the engineer's wish to make up time on a train with a reputation for swiftness).Like many Anglo-American ballads, there are numerous versions of this song. For instance, a number of versions have the train going west, from Clifton Forge, and approaching Hinton at the time of the accident. The engineer, George Alley is, in several versions, renamed John Alley, or George Hinton. The cause of the accident might be given as a landslide blocking the rails, a washout of a section of track, or another train in the opposite direction. In several versions, Alley says goodbye to his wife, instead of his mother, sometimes at Clifton Forge, sometimes at Covington. A search for the song in a card catalog can even be troublesome, as the ballad has been presented under various titles, such as \"Wreck on the C & O,\" \"Wreck of the Old Number Five,\" or \"Wreck of the FFV.\"The author of the song is unknown, but is attributed amongst others to a worker at the Hinton rail yard and to a C&O engineer.".
