This locomotive, 1102, is probably notable as the subject of a popular song. The article provides no references providing verifiability nor evidence of notability. Yes, it's a part of railroading lore, but it needs to have citations to be part of an encyclopedia. One might look at this booklet: "The History of the Wreck of the Old 97", Howard Gregory, available from the Tarheel Press [1]. Rhadow (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

The locomotive is 1102. The train, the Southern Fast Mail, is 97. The article is about the locomotive. Rhadow (talk) 00:39, 3 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
