waverly train explosion

On the evening o February 22, 1978, a Louisville and Nashville(L&N) Railroad train derailed 24 o its 92 cars in Waverly on its wayrom Nashville to Memphis. Several cars contained liquid propanegas. The re and police departments were called to the scene andan inspection o the cars began. No gas detection devices wereused, only the eyes and noses o re and police ocers. No leakswere ound, but the immediate area was evacuated as a precaution.

The next day, hazmat and the L&N crews were called in to

begin work on removing the derailed cars. Two days ater theaccident, the weather warmed rom the mid-20s to the mid-50s,and leaking was noticed in one o the tank cars. The increasein temperature and direct sunlight caused one o the damagedtanks to leak. But the nearby workers had little time to react.

Two tank cars exploded; debris and parts o the tankers fewthrough the air and the fames ran rampant. In all, 16 peopledied on what is reerred to as “Black Friday” including Fire Chie Wilbur York, Police Chie Guy Barnett and reman Melvin Matlock.Sixteen buildings and several vehicles were destroyed and 20 otherbuildings were damaged. Emergency ocials rom 39 countiescame to Waverly to assist, and 43 people were injured. A one-mileevacuation was enacted in case o another explosion.

Due to the extent o the damageand the processes used, Governor RayBlanton enacted several new hazmatprocedures through the TennesseeEmergency Management Agency. Today,a museum (point 38) housed in a

restored L&N caboose exhibits photosand a timeline o the disaster.

Iron was important to early settlers because it was used to makeknives, plows, kettles, weapons, railroads, bridges and buildings. Ironore deposits along the Tennessee River proved a valuable resource,not only to these communities, but to all Tennesseans and beyond.Stewart County was known or its brown iron ore, which was turnedinto charcoal iron and high silicon. This process took place in ironore urnaces, employing hundreds o workers in the area. Plentiuldeposits o limestone were used as a fux to separate impurities duringthe iron making process. The accessibility o the Tennessee River madeit easy to ship the ore to the Midwest or to the deep South. Many

kilns and urnaces oundalong the Screaming EagleTrail operated until the

late 1800s, such as theBear Spring (pictured) andGreat Western Furnaces.

Wilma Rudolph was the 20th o 22 children. Born prematurely,she developed pneumonia, scarlet ever and polio all beore the ageo six. Rudolph overcame every obstacle in her path: she not onlylearned to walk but eventually became a decorated track star.

Because her high school didn’t have adequate unding or atrack team, Rudolph joined the basketball team. The coach didn’tput her in a single game until her sophomore year, when sheeventually became the starting guard. It was during a statebasketball tournament that she was spotted by Ed Temple, coach or

the amous women’s track team at Tennessee State University (TSU).Prior to graduation, Coach Temple invited Wilma to TSU or a summersports camp. Based on her exceptional athletic abilities, Rudolphreceived a ull scholarship to TSU — one o three Historically BlackColleges & Universities (see page 23) located in the Nashville area.Under the training o legendary Coach Temple, she continued toexcel in track and eld.

It was her speed and intensity that earned her a spot on the1956 and 1960 U.S. Olympic Teams. With Coach Temple still by herside, she became the rst emale athlete to win three gold medalsin track and eld in the 1960 games. WhenRudolph returned home, thethen-segregated commu-nity welcomed its hero. Shereused to attend any unctionthat was not integrated, thusbringing some o the rstnon-segregated events to theClarksville community. She wasinducted into the U.S. Olympic

Hall o Fame in the 1980s.

The Freedman’s Bureau was established in 1865 to assistormer slaves’ transition to reedom ollowing the Civil War. It hadmany unctions, but perhaps its most important was to create andmaintain schools, recognizing that education would be essential toestablishing a new lie outside o slavery. Education oered reedmena chance to not only read and write, but to work beyond physicallabor, earn a better living, and compete in society. Barely six monthsater the end o the Civil War, three men — John Ogden, ReverendErastus Milo Cravath, and Reverend Edward P. Smith — establishedthe Fisk School in Nashville, named in honor o General Clinton B.

During the Civil War, Jeerson Street was a worn oot pathrunning directly through a Union Army contraband camp, set up toprovide ood and shelter to slaves let behind by feeing plantationowners. Eventually, these camps unctioned as reedmen’scommunities, with churches, schools, medical services and evenemployment or reedmen with the Union Army. Soon ater theend o the war in 1865, Fisk University was established in thearea, anchoring a growing and vibrant Arican-American culture.Jeerson Street became a one-stop shop or retail, restaurants,beauty and barber shops, groceries, pool halls, upscale supper clubs,dance halls, churches and other establishments. Famous musicianslike Little Richard (pictured top), Ray Charles (pictured R), FatsDomino (pictured L) and Memphis Slim were regular perormers in

the Jeerson Street clubs between 1940 and 1960. Nashville’s 1960sdesegregation — led by Fisk University students and the NashvilleStudent Movement — changed the culture o thecity. Arican-American commerce was no longerlimited to places like Jeerson Street. At the sametime, construction o Interstate 40 cut o trac tothe area, shuttering over 126 businesses and leading

to a quick decline. For nearly two decades,a revitalization eort has made greatstrides in preserving Jeerson Street’sculture and bringing the neighborhoodback to lie, and it now hosts a popularannual Jazz & Blues Festival in June.
