Michael Haley's Train Before The Accident
They say the Devil lit the match
When Michael Haley jumped the tracks.
Sent flying from the stony wall,
His engine like a fireball.
Now dead and buried in his train, Where still are heard his screams of pain.
No longer does he burn his coal,
But in Sedona River Valley stirs his soul.
"Derailed in October of 1968, Michael Haley, age 21 at the time, was one of only five train-related deaths in the entire history of Riverton. The others were all basically normal, for example one guy had a heart attack while driving a train; just simple things like that, but the story goes... Michael was chugging along up in the hills, where it gets all steep and rocky and he'd been running that line for about four years so he knew what he was doing. Anyway, there was apparently an explosion, or just a freak break-away of like a million rocks and boulders, because something happened that they never quite explained. A bunch of land gave way under the tracks, the rails snapped and his train went down. The area was charred pretty bad, but they don't know if that was from his train blowin' up, or what.
Unfortunately, so much rubble went down with him, that after digging about forty feet down, they gave up. It was taking so long and the family just wanted closure. I mean, everybody knew he was down there, presumed dead. So, they stopped, gave a brief memorial service and left it as is. Michael's body and his train were never recovered. No memorial marker was ever erected. No investigation of what caused the wreck was ever conducted. He was forgotten. Was Michael still alive in that wreckage? Did Michael hear them digging for him, but was too injured to somehow let them know he indeed was alive? Had they not given up, but recovered his body and given him a proper funeral, his soul would have been at rest. Yes, Michael Haley and his train are still buried there, the mountain side is still charred and black and there are still a few twisted rails from the wreck of so long ago... evidence that something horrible took place. Now 30 years later, Michael Haley is back from the dead. This time he will not be forgotten...” . |
