Casey Jones
John Luther "Casey" Jones was an American railroad worker who died when his passenger train collided with a damaged freight train in Vaughan, Mississippi. Jones is a locomotive engineer for Illinois Central Railways, based in Memphis, Tennessee and Jackson, Mississippi. He is known for his unusually punctual schedule, which sometimes requires a certain degree of risk, although this was not a factor in his last fatal trip. However, there was some disagreement over the sequence of events that night, April 29-30, 1900. It will operate a southbound passenger service from Memphis to Canton, Mississippi, departing at 11:35 pm. Due to the absence of the engineer, he had to take another shift all day, which could put him out of sleep. It ended up leaving 75 minutes late, but still set the clock with confidence, with the powerful 382 ten-wheel motor, known as the "Cannonball".
