the swamp tiger and the cannonball are both the SAME engine, the did a split screen with OR&L 85, the REALLY ran it into the logs and the caboose was really burned.
@skybluedragonator there both the same engine. they did a few cosmetic changes to make it look different but they are both infact the same engine. If you have further doughts about that then please contact the Hawaiian railway society.
I was in the fifth grade in 1957 when this show came on. I used to get in trouble at school for drawing trains in class. Great show. Thanks for posting.
Building extra track in the middle of a train race in order to save time has got to be the most hysterically absurd plot twist in a non-comedy in the entire history of television.
"Said a msg to the boys at the gorge" BOYS AT THE GORGE get the msg and one of them asks, "What does it say?" The other says; "DIT DIT DASH DASH DIT DIT DIT DIT DASH DASH..." Casey "RAMMING SPEED, Warp 7!"
I loved this show as a little kid. Didn't have a thing to do with the real John Luther Jones and his career on the Illinois Central that ended on April 30, 1900-- but it was a lot of fun. I was heart broken when it was cancelled, but we got to see that Sierra RR Ten Wheeler later in "Petticoat Junction" and "Wild, Wild West".
What made me think of Casey Jones on a wet august night in Yorkshire I'll never know.But what a treat,I cant stop singing the song.Casey Jones steamin and a rollin Casey Jones blah blah blah blah blah.Thankyou Classic.
