The radio ballads were the joint creation of Ewan MacColl, Charles Parker and Peggy Seeger. A radio ballad is a sound-tapestry woven of four basic elements: songs, instrumental music, sound effects and the recorded voices of those with whose lives each program deals.
An epic song running to 45 minutes, it tells the story of the man who has been called the British Casey Jones. On February 9, 1957, the 56-year-old Axon was driving a train from Buxton to his home depot at Edgeley in the north of England when the automatic stream brake pipe fractured.
