On July 6, 1944, 1000 freshly minted soldiers boarded the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in Indianapolis bound for the south. From there they would be sent to the European theater of World War II. Hours later, in Campbell County, Tennessee, the engine, tender, and four passenger cars careened over the side of the Jellico Narrows. Plunging down the 50-foot gorge and into the Clear River, the 418 Engine crashed into a massive boulder.
Setting is where your story takes place.
