Casey Jones
Steamin' and a-rollin'
Casey Jones
You never have to guess
When you hear the tooting of the whistle
It's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express

Oh why did I ever leave the railroad and get that stupid boat?

[BenAliGtor]

He got fired from the railroad for letting his kid ride the cab. Took his Railroad Retirement money, and bought a charter boat called the Minnow, and was eventually hired to give a three hour cruise to a millionaire, a professor, a movie star and others....but that's another story...

@JBofBrisbane My point exactly. He must have been on the left when they shot this. (That or they had a special reverse nameplate made up!)

@markiliff - American locos have the "engineer" (driver where I come from) on the right.

[TZEITEL10]

Does anyone remember a show with similar storylines called Iron Horse?it must have been made in the very early sixties.When i ask friends if they saw it ,they cannot recall seeing it so i wonder if it was a figment of my imagination.

Note the 'Cannonball Express' label on the train is backwards.

god....i feel old, i rember this!

[markiliff]

@autounionv16 Must've been a conscious decision: Casey is hanging out of what would have been the wrong side of the cab

[jmcenanly1]

He was a better railroad engineer than he was a tour boat skipper
