One of the very best TV Shows of the 1950s .. & what I regard as the best TV intro song / theme of all time. But .. I'm biased, 'cause I grew up on this fabulous show. Listen to those fabulous harmonies .. & a great melody !! I still know all the words .. & I could do the Cannonball Train Whistle down-pat .. at least I did, until my voice broke ...
If you look carefully at the shot beginning at 0:11 you will see that the editor has flipped the negative over, so the train appears to be heading left to right so as to better match following shot. Unfortunately this meant the Cannonball Express name-plate is back-to front.
Huh, never saw this show as a kid in the 1960's. Got to say the Skipper from the Island looks just like his dad Casey. Wonder why Casey's son went to sea instead of trying the rail road biz like his pa.
can you up load some episodes from disk 3 girl in the cab, layover at jamestown ,star witness,the black box and the dark rider all thoses mentioned are cut off on parts can you please upload all of disk three thankyou
@Landulphcounter: You and me both mate, I expect there were young boys everywhere singing the theme tune when the show started. My confession is my friend and me both wanted to be Casey jr, he seemed to have a great life ,lol . Life seemed very simple back then...
I simply loved that show, still do, my grandchildren will discover these old shows just as soon as I can get the dvd's. Thanks for the upload

watched this many years ago, i never thought i would get it on utube wow...
Best ever....great!!!!
I remember this show during my childhood.
wonderful nostalgia, love it.
just found some eps. of Casey Jones on vhs at a comic book show.
@ufoengines hey this is Alan Hale JNR, the same guy as the skipper on Gilligans Island.
Two years ago, but - no, Alan Hale Jr played both Casey Jones in the show of the same name, AND the "skipper" (AKA Jonas Grumby) in Gilligan's Island.
