The Exeter Wreck Lyrics – Charles J. Adams III
Singer: Charles J. Adams III
Title: The Exeter Wreck
The night of May 12th, 1899 was moonless and in the village of Exeter, along the Schuylkill River south of Reading, the Cannonball Express, with many dignitaries including a U.S. senator aboard, was parked on the main track while a crippled locomotive was backing into a siding
And speeding down the line toward Exeter was another passenger train
Signals fouled
The big locomotive plunged into the last car of the Cannonball
The wreck, an account said, was, “…indescribable. Human arms and limbs sticking out of windows with splinters driven through them. Dead bodies piled in and around the wreckage. It was sickening.”
29 men, women and children died that moonless night, most in the parlor car of the Cannonball Express
That senator, Boies Penrose, was spared the wrath of the Grim Reaper
He had been in the parlor car, but along the fatal route, he made his way forward to another car, which was virtually untouched in the crash: the smoking car, where Senator Penrose could enjoy a good cigar – a cigar which, in a way, saved his life

Dan melaju ke bawah garis menuju Exeter adalah kereta penumpang lain
Sinyal dilanggar
Lokomotif besar terjun ke mobil terakhir Cannonball
Kecelakaan itu, sebuah akun mengatakan, “… tak terlukiskan. Lengan dan anggota tubuh manusia menonjol keluar dari jendela dengan serpihan yang didorong melalui mereka. Mayat yang ditumpuk di dalam dan di sekitar reruntuhan. Itu memuakkan.”
29 pria, wanita dan anak -anak meninggal malam tanpa bulan itu, sebagian besar di mobil ruang tamu Cannonball Express
Senator itu, Boies Penrose, terhindar dari murka Grim Reaper
Dia telah berada di mobil ruang tamu, tetapi di sepanjang rute yang fatal, dia berjalan ke depan ke mobil lain, yang hampir tidak tersentuh dalam kecelakaan itu: mobil merokok, di mana Senator Penrose dapat menikmati cerutu yang bagus – sebuah cerutu yang, di a cara, menyelamatkan hidupnya
