Casey Jones Day;
Casey Jones Home & Railroad Museum;
Jackson (Madison County) – Casey
Jones' famous last ride took place
110 years ago on April 30th, 1900. Heading toward
Vaughan, Mississippi on his new
route from Memphis, Jones, a
railroad engineer for Illinois
Central, heroically stayed with his
passenger train in the now legendary
train collision when another train
stalled on the track ahead. He
saved the lives of all of his crew
and passengers on board and his was
the only life lost. An
African-American engine wiper,
Wallace Saunders, set Jones' deeds
to song and the eventual "Ballad of
Casey Jones" made Casey Jones a
world wide folk hero and legend.
Railroad buffs can celebrate with
the opportunity to meet the
granddaughter of Casey Jones, Nancy
Howse. She will be 90 in June. For
more info, visit

hours are
