The night Casey Jones died another engineer was scheduled for that shift. The engineer called in sick and Casey Jones volunteered. That night my great grandfather survived and Casey Jones became a legend. Casey Jones left a widow behind. She remarried sometime later but continued to wear the ring Casey Jones gave her. Passed from mother to daughter, my wife, the great granddaughter of Casey’s widow, wears that ring. What is interesting is, my wife and I did know put the two stories, and our lives were so entwined until after two years of marriage.

My favourite thing about Sam is how he’s always amazing to his fans. He tries so hard not to offend anyone, to reply to everyone’s comments, and listens to his fans requests.
Thanks for being a great guy Sam!

Sorry for this Sam but I’d like to correct you: 382 wasn’t destroyed in the wreck but was repaired and returned to service. However, there was a rumour going around that she had became cursed and missed her old engineer, and so kept derailing and misbehaving so much that they were forced to retire her. Heck, even when they were about to tow her to the scrapyard, she allegedly RAN OVER one of the crew members tasked for the job.

So yeah, sorry for this. Great video btw!

Casey Jones' real name was John Luther Jones.

_C'mon, you rounders, if you wanna hear_
_a story about a brave engineer_
_Casey Jones was the roller's name_
_On a six-eight-wheeler that he rode to fame._

Whilst Casey Jones was loved by the company, for his "timekeeping" skills, allegedly the fitters, at the workshops, weren't all that enamoured with him - thrashing his loco to bits and wearing out parts faster than other engineers were doing on the same 4-6-0s.... Whilst it's a sad story, in the end, it's a good lesson that driving hard and fast eventually ends in disaster...

And whilst everyone remembers the A4 that was destroyed by a HX bomb, in York North MPD, everyone seemingly forgets the poor B16 that was sat beside her and also written off by the blast.

6:40 the locomotive was actually rebuilt multiple times, involved in several more wrecks, and was then scrapped in the 1950s.

Dang, never expected this to pop into existence.

[Curtiz]

Casey Jones Village in Jackson, Tennessee, has Casey's house, open as a museum, and a locomotive, and a train shop. The hotel consists of several train cars. There should be pictures online.

More vintage trains would be awesome!: )

Is LNER A4 Gadwell running because it was also destroyed in an accident?

[calebc.]

there’s a disney cartoon about him.

weren’t they both involved in crashes or was the a4 involved during some kind of bombing during ww2

"Come on ya rounders, what I want you to hear, the story all about a brave engineer, Casey Jones is the rounder's name, on an Old Ten Wheeler, the boys want his fame..." Once again Sam, another wonderful review! Casey Jones has always been such an interesting figure to me. His tragic demise right at the turn of the century has become, arguably, one of the most famous railroad stories of all time. Keep up the good work Sam! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next time! Happy Railroading!

Hi Sam can we see more vintage locos as they are interesting also I like how mechanism is the same in some 2020 products. Thanks for the upload mate 🙂

[astridvallati]

Rivarossi also made an O scale model of this loco;
Point of Interest: the newly formed FS ( Italian state railways) 1905, acquired Baldwin 4-6-0 and 2-8-0 as a start to Standardizing Loco Designs. Locos prior to 1905 were from several different companies, with German, French and Italian design Locos.
A similar Baldwin 4-6-0 in 3'6" for QGR. Was delivered in 1904.

[kenthensley]

His name was John Luther Jones ( Casey was a nickname given to him because he once lived in Cayce, Kentucky and there was another John Jones who also worked for the Railroad so to distinguish between the two he went by Casey ). Some historians tell that 382 wasn't the engine Casey normally drove & and he was filling in for the engineer who was sick that normally drove 382, its been told that more accidents happened with locomotive 382 after it was rebuilt from Casey's accident, to verify more research needed ; anyway, enjoyed the video and thanks.

Yes! I was waiting for a video for today! Your videos make my day brighter Sam!
