Try http://www.watervalley.net/users/caseyjones/song.htm for lyrics. Casey lived in Jackson, TN, where the GM&O was the "hometown" railroad and northern terminus of the original Rebel. He was an engineer for the Illinois Central, however, at the time of his death. The IC also served Jackson, TN. There is a museum in his house - now moved to a more commercial location.

"S" folks Not to beat a lame horse but to bring correct information on this matter of John Luther Jones. The song has nothing to do with the UP. Casey Jones first worked for the M&O (Mobile and Ohio) before they merged with the Gulf and Northern, Yep, they named it the Gulf Mobile and Ohio. The greatest North/South Class 1 railroad in the Universe.... IMO :-} The following link will take you to the ballad of Casey Jones. I will now get back on track and work on getting some photos of the detailed RS-3's in the photo section like I said I would. Yall have a good day. http://www.trainweb.org/caseyjones/song.html Joe Visintine --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jamie Bothwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Folks, > Joe's history report on Casey Jones is accurate, but the song quoted > above has him running on the UP!
