I was looking for information on the 1978 tank car explosion that occured in Waverly, Tennessee on the L&N and was hoping to find out which issues of Trains from that year would have covered it.

AS a place to start looking for your information: In 2010 there was a Thread her titled Kingman BLEVE" linked @ http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/p/168817/1853980.aspx#1853980
If you drill down in that link you'll find a link to the 1978 L&N Train Wreck at Waverly,Tn, and the wreckage it caused in the community.
Hope this will help.
If you're looking for other information than a Trains article specifically, search "BLEVE Waverly" and you'll get a pretty good assortment.
