Casey Jones is an American children's Western TV series that ran during the 1957-1958 television season, based around the pioneering western railroads.
The series aired in syndication in the United States. Casey Jones aired on the BBC in the United Kingdom and on the Nine Network in Australia. The series is set in the late 19th century, featuring the adventures of railroad engineer Casey Jones and the crew of the Cannonball Express steam locomotive, fireman Wallie Sims and conductor Redrock Smith, working for the Midwest and Central Railroad. Casey lived in Midvale, a fictional town within commuting distance of St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife, Alice, their young son, Casey, Jr., and their dog Cinders. Although there really was a famous locomotive engineer named Casey Jones of the Illinois Central, the television series is only very loosely based on him.
However, it uses the real names of his train, the Cannonball Express, and his fireman, Wallie. Kenneth Gamet, the producer of Casey Jones, offers a gentler Western series against the more violent adult shows of the time. Casey Jones features the same classical types of plots as other westerns such as train robbers and vandals, but the episodes center as much on Casey's interaction with his family, particularly Casey, Jr.
Loved this when I was a child I knew the song well !! My brother and I would watch together.
I remember watching this in the late 60s and early 70s. Brings back memories of me and my grandad together .
Me too !
If I remember correctly correctly, we had this on telly on a Sunday with all of the family watching.
Thanks for giving me some great childhood memories from the 1970s, here in Northern Ireland
I remember watching this on BBC as a kid in the early 70s.
I'm so glad I can still watch the reruns!, They don't make great shows like this anymore
Casey jones steaming and a rolling, for anyone who doesn’t know what I mean is, Casey jones was an American railroad engineer who was killed when his steam locomotive collided with a stalled train, there was a tv series with Casey jones played by Alan Hale in the late 50s and was rerun on British tv in the 60s and was a weekly half hour series
Childhood revisited. Loved all those b&w morning shows!
This fantastic series deserved a longer run
Don't figure out my age, LOLOLOL, but I remember this show. Stay safe.
45 years of service as a Engineer watch C.J. as a kid .
How they managed to make only a few episodes I will never know 😀
The theme song tune was also used for the old "Charlie Says" Good N Plenty animated commercial...
"The Ballad of Casey Jones" is from 1909. Music by Eddie Newton; lyrics by Wallace Saunders and T. Lawrence Seibert.
Just now was probably the first time I've seen this since it originally aired. Surprised at the syncopated rhythm of the music rather than straight time which would sound more like a locomotive. Well, they didn't ask me at the time!!
The boy who plays Casey's son looks to be a truer "little buddy" than Gilligan ever was lol
I used like watching Casey Jones as a kid
The show just came to GetTV, but we don't have the experience of seeing the closing credits because they are shortened. This is disrespectful.
You can get full and all episodes on DVD on eBay also why does closing theme cut off on most episodes
@@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447 ...Because people either have shorter attention spans, or the higher-ups in Get TV have no regard for quality music. I really don't know.
R.I.P Casey Jones
I have then all on DVD
I thought the words ro the song were "Casey Jones Orders in his hand when you hear the tooting of the whistle . . . .
thank you
I love this show but there is a goof in the part where Casey jr is pulling the whistle he kept pulling down on it and it only gave one toot but if this were real the whistle would have kept blowing until Casey jr let go of the cord also in some episode it changes from a whistle cord to a whistle lever

Who sang this I wonder?
My earliest ambition is that when I grew up I wanted to be Casey Jones. I failed.
You only need a high school diploma to become a railroad engineer
They train you on site, and you can work your way up.
You can do it.
I agree, do not give up your dreams.
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory just a high school diploma??!!!?
Did you go off track?
@@oldgaffer9212 What do you mean?
This was a wonderful American TV series. They used to show it on British TV back in the 1970s and early 1980s, in the afternoon during the school holidays. And, back in about 1983, there used to be a takeaway hamburger restaurant at Charing Cross railway station, London, named Casey Jones. In the corner, by the exit for Villiers Street. Casey Jones takeaway restaurants were in most big railway stations (Waterloo, Euston, Liverpool Street, Victoria, etc.). Actually, their burgers were really good, as well.
Yes! I'm actually stunned to find it's so old, as it was a highlight for me on English TV early 70's 😊
This programme is the first and only memory I've got of sitting on my dads knee watching TV.
Wow. 51 years ago. A very happy memory. Thank you so much for uploading it to RUclips.
You used to sit on his knee when you were 14/15🙄

I believe this locomotive is the hooterville cannonball
Used to love this when we were kids. Happy memories of happier days.
I loved this show when I was a little boy - used to watch it with my Grandfather Tom(Jones) who drove the massive Coronations for the LMS
I’d love to drive an LMS Loco
@@will_levitt926 me too I will blow the whistle when the train is ready
ok
CORONATION SCOTT.....CLASS
My brother and I were, and still are, avid railroad fans, and this show had us in front of the television for EVERY episode.
Thank you for placing this show on RUclips for our enjoyment! 🚂
I don't know why this suddenly popped into my head, but even the tune as well as the name. I remember watching this as a kid. Must have been a repeat because I wasn't born until 1958.
I was a mid 60s kid & loved this series.
I worked in the machining industry for years & while arguing with one of the technical so called experts from the office about why we couldn't make what he wanted with the equipment we had, He glared at me & said " don't tell me it can't be done I'm an engineer ! "
My reply was " so was Casey Jones & all he did was toot the whistle ! "
He had never seen or heard of him so the comment was lost on him.
University gives qualifications not ability to use them....
That's a big part of what's wrong with everything these days
Hiring should be based on merit
and affinity for the job
I enjoyed watching this in the 60s as my own dad was a steam locomotive driver promoted from being a fireman
It’s a pity the Casey jones series isn’t seen on line for free as I would love to watch the series again
Another gem from the golden years of television!😀🚂🛤️📺
It's literally been nearly 40 years since I've seen Casey Jones on TV!🤔🚂🛤️👩🔧📺🇺🇸
When you hear the tootin' of the whistle, it's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express. Great memories.
I remember THIS! I was 2 and 3 years old then. I can still sing along!
What I''d give to return to those innocent times...
Awe fond memories of this series. Used to sing the the theme song as a kid.
I guess you are older than I am; I remember this series from my childhood.
Don't go figuring out my age, now. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Have always liked watching Casey Jones, love the tune of Casey Jones start and finish.
All true railfans know that the actual Star of the show was Sierra Railway No. 3.
I remember watching this show in 1958! One of my fondest memories at age 3. This show, living a block away from a railroad crossing, and a local children's program ( Cartoon Express with Engineer Bill Stulla ) sent me on the path to being a life long railfan.
Just discovered this series. Great stuff.
Yall do realize Casey Jones was a real person right ? but his Real name was John Luther Jones and his nickname was Casey . he died in a collusion on the Illinois Central in Vaughn Ms. in 1900
Yes , he tragically died in Mississippi.
Yup. It's in Yazoo County, about 2 hours south of me (I live in Lee County). Not much there now.
Yes an amazing story
Hey! McHale can drive a train too⁉️
Actually I'm wrong... That was Ernest Borgnine.
It's the Skipper from Gilligan's Island here❗
A truly underated classic
A railroading legend
I was crazy about this series! The first time I saw a train, I was so disappointed. Neither did it look nor it sounded as Casey Jones's locomotive!
jtownshend i call my biskle cannonball No1
It's a show from the 50s what were you expecting?
@Aqua Fyre I didn't mention, but I was a 6 year old child. My mom was taking me and my sister from school and she pointed out saying: look, there's a train! I looked and looked and couldn't see one. Of course, I thought all trains were like Casey's, that is why I was disappointed after seing a diesel locomotive. It was more like a monster to me.
@Aqua Fyre The song was based on a real guy
I understand how you felt. I lived a block away from a railroad crossing and noticed the same thing. My first time seeing a static steam engine was when I too was six. I was pretty excited to see that and a strange feeling came over me that they looked familiar and felt a kinship towards them. Maybe I worked for the railroad in a past life. 😉😄. It was many years later that I learned why they switched to diesels and been a life long rail buff.
Just have to get this series on DVD!🚂🛤️
I got mine on eBay. There is no regular company like CBS DVD producing the series, but the outfit that made mine did a good job. It's public domain I believe, so it's ok for them to do it.
In this case, it would be either Sony Pictures Home Entertainment or Shout! Factory.
That's how most of us are right now!!! Wi love from Bonnie Scotland
I didn't know they had railroad tracks on Gilligan's island
It’s the same train used in Petticoat Junction and the same track. Train used in many other movies too.
Yeah, made from coconut palms ! 😁
Trains or boats, he's still The Skipper.
@@stevencameronmckelvey-vaug2953 It also appears in Back to the Future 3. To not ruin the movie I have decided to refrain from revealing the locomotives actual top speed.
@@robertknight4672 88 MPH?
I always remembered the theme song!
Loved this prog wen i was a kid brings back memories. My brother n i used to sing this
So many great fond memories of casey jones but sadly he died from nasty accident #restpeacecaseyjones
Watched this as a kid in Australia, possibly early 70s. Loved it.
As a five-year-old I named my first (black) cat Casey.
0:19 - THE SKIPPER?!?!?!
I knew Gilligan and Mr. Howell had regular roles before the island...but the Skipper,too?
Seriously I vaguely remember the Casey Jones show from when I was 4 or 5,and the theme song has been used and parodied in many other shows and ads.

Casey Jones was aired here in Brazil sometimes in syndication, sometimes as a rerun by a local TV station.
Starring Dub Taylor? Dang!
From a time we can only dream will come again
Good ole Casey Jones he’s famous for railroad engineer ❤️🚂🛤
Aye he died in a crash protected the passengers,
As a kid I loved this show so much that my first pet, a rabbit, was called Casey Jones. That tune has been in the back of my head for over 50 years and still reappears from time to time. However, somehow my brain transformed the lyrics to "Casey Jones, steaming like a loco". Thanks for the memories.
Loved this Paul
Boy do I remember that show I was 9 years old, yes do the math I'm 73, It was a shot run Tv show but is was great.
I remember this show so distinctly--and THIS is how I most remember Alan Hale, Jr. (or fils, as they say in French).
my dad reccomended i should watch this tv show in like 2017 so i watched it. he said he watched it in the 80s. this is one of the best tv shows ever.
My grandaughters name is Kacey Jones
I very vaguely remember seeing this on TV in the early 90's, up until today, when I randomly decided to google, I thought Casey Jones had been the train's name!
