@colins bike 2.0 Never said ‘funny’ said fun as in ‘interesting’.

That is 100% a fun fact. Very interesting

Sim Webb was interviewed about the incident in which Jones was killed. Don’t know how much truth and legend are mixed in this song. It is a great song though. Love that whistle!

Imagine being such a legend that you can go around intentionally waking up entire towns and they just say "there he goes"

😊

casey jones went scabbin on the angels

But Johnny will rebuilt to No.18 and they'll be rebuild the same train but the numbers are different

Nah, never involved in a union dispute. Also the RR company blamed his death on negligence. As a result, they dodged a lawsuit for failing to maintai9n a safe environment and his widow was screwed out of compensation for her husbands death, she settled in court but still.. If anything he should be a sympathetic character. Utah Phillips got this one wrong.@@stinkmonger From wikipedia: Illinois Central Railroad report on accident A conductor's report filed five hours after the accident stated, "Engineer on No.1 failed to answer flagman who was out proper distance. It is supposed he did not see the flag." This was the position the IC held in its official reports.[6] The final IC accident report was released on July 13, 1900, by A.S. Sullivan, the general superintendent of IC. It stated that "Engineer Jones was solely responsible having disregarded the signals given by Flagman Newberry." John M. Newberry was the flagman on the southbound No. 83 that Jones hit. According to the report, he had gone out a distance of 3,000 feet (910 m), where he had placed warning torpedoes on the rail. He continued north a further distance of 500 to 800 feet (150 to 240 m), where he stood and gave signals to Jones's train No.1. Historians and the press had questions about the official findings. In the report Fireman Sim Webb states that he heard the torpedo explode before going to the gangway on the engineer's side and seeing the flagman with the red and white lights standing alongside the tracks. Going to the fireman's side, he saw the markers of the caboose of No. 83 and yelled to Jones. But it would have been impossible for him to have seen the flagman if the flagman had been positioned 500-800 feet (150-240 m) before the torpedoes as the report says he was. In any event, some railroad historians have disputed the official account over the years, finding it difficult if not impossible to believe that an engineer of Jones's experience would have ignored a flagman and fusees (flares) and torpedoes exploded on the rail to alert him to danger. Contrary to what the report claimed, shortly after the accident and until his death Webb maintained, "We saw no flagman or fusees, we heard no torpedoes. Without any warning we plowed into that caboose."[6][7] Other people involved Jones's African-American fireman Simeon T. Webb (born May 12, 1874), died in Memphis on July 13, 1957,[12] at age 83. Jones's widow, Janie Brady Jones (born October 29, 1866), died on November 21, 1958, in Jackson at age 92.[13] At the time of Jones' death at age 37, his son Charles was 12, his daughter Helen was 10 and his youngest son John Lloyd (known as "Casey Junior") was 4. Jones's wife received $3,000 in insurance payments (Jones was a member of two unions, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and had a $1,500 policy with each union), and later settled with IC for an additional $2,650 (Earl Brewer, a Water Valley attorney who would later serve as Governor of Mississippi, represented her in the settlement).[7] Other than these payments, Mrs. Jones received nothing as a result of the wreck or Jones's service with the railroad, as the Railroad Retirement Fund was not established until 1937. Jones's wife said she never had any thought of remarrying.[14] She wore black nearly every day for the rest of her life.[6] Jones's tombstone in Jackson's Mount Calvary Cemetery gives his birth year as 1864, but according to information his mother wrote in the family Bible, he was born in 1863. The tombstone was donated in 1947 by two out-of-town railroad enthusiasts who accidentally got his birth year wrong. Until then, a simple wooden cross had marked his grave.[6] _Man was screwed over in death.
