    Music: Johnny Cash - Casey Jones´ ballad
    Creator: Joel the Swedish Dragon
    Words I have to say:
    This guy, man, he's pretty much my hero. One of the first too. You know, I´m totally obsessed with steam trains and American railroads, but sometimes I feel so lonely in my home country... Well, at least in the state I live in... Especially when we´re talking about Casey Jones? Not the doucher with a chainsaw-massacre-mask and hockey stick from TMNT, but Jonathan Luther, man? The greatest heroic railroad engineer who ever got passenger- and mail trains in record-breaking time?
    I just feel like the only swede that know anything at all 'bout one of the most honorable folklore heroes ever existing on earth!...
    Anyway, I now present my Swedish tribute to the most heroic railroader of all time.
    The story;
    Year 1900, April the 29th John L. (Casey) Jones, on duty, was in a hurry to Memphis with his Illinois Central RR 4-6-0 locomotive No 382 pulling the "Cannonball Express". Then that raining n storming night near Vaughan all of sudden he spotted a caboose to a halted long freight train fighting with another freight train on a small siding faraway ahead. Casey blew warning signals to the crew on the other train, yelled to his african-american fire stoker Simon Webb to jump off before disaster, he slammed on the brakes as hard as he could, but it was all too late.
    Most of all people survived with some damage, but poor John Luther...
    After saving people´s life he went to heaven to rest in peace...
    And perhaps be the head engineer for the railroads in heaven.
    (Credit goes to Wikipedia and Dan (amtrakf40 on CZcams. Xb)
    Here´s some lyrics, if you wanna read! XP
    Come all you rounders if you wanna hear the story about a brave engineer
    Casey Jones was the roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his fame
    Caller called Casey bout half past four. He kissed his wife at the station door
    He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
    Said this is the trip to the Promised Land
    CHORUS
    Casey Jones climbed in the cabin
    Casey Jones orders in his hand
    Casey Jones leanin' out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land
    Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a fallin' and the water was high
    Everybody knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
    Well Jones said, "Fireman now don't you fret". Sim Webb said "We ain't a givin' up yet.
    We're eight hours late with the southbound mail.
    We'll be on time or we're leavin' the rails."
    (CHORUS)
    Dead on the rail was a passenger train. Blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain
    Casey said "Hey now - look out ahead! Jump, Sim jump or we'll all be dead!"
    With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake.
    The IC railroad official said, "He's a good engineer to be a laying dead."
    (CHORUS)
    Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain are all the part of a railroad train.
    Sweat and toil, the good and the grand are part of the life of a railroad man.
    (CHORUS)

    A railroad man stood at the Pearly Gate
    And his face was scarred and old.
    He stood before the Man of Fate for admission to his fold.
    “What have you done,” St. Peter asked “to gain admission here?
    “I’ve been an engineer for many and many a year.”
    The Pearly Gates swung open wide as St. Peter touched the bell,
    “Come right in and choose your harp, you’ve had enough of hell”

    As you can see in my description, I know the story already. And I would show the part when Casey tells Sim to jump off, if Disney made the scene in this cartoon.
    You can see this as while Casey tells Sim, the conductor sees the danger from the roof and runs forward to the engine and waits for orders by the leader what to do.
