I have an old folk song that should be shared. It’s a song about a true railroader, Casey Jones. He had a black fireman named Sim Web. Sim and Casey werer familiar with passenger trains. Casey had the biggest adn baddest locomotive ruling the rails. it was the Empire State Express. Designed to haul people, and mail, Casey and Sim attempted a record-breaking three and a half mile from the depot to the station. Casey was the master at the throttle. One of his most treasured whistles was an odd whislte called the Whipporwill! Many folks said that Casey couldn’t do it, but Casey was a man who can really look at things differently. He had his trust in his fireman, Sim. on that june August morning, just at the right time, Casey and Sim pulled out of Memp[his Tennessee with the Empire State Express. Casey was goign to porve his point. Being an engineer, Casey was tempted to get teh Empire State Express going. He gave hi sorder to his frieman, Sim Web. Make sure teh fire engine is going at top speed, he shouted over the sound of the thunder fo the wheels. Sim obeyed Casey’s order. This was going to be a record-breaking momnet in the history of passenger trains. Mounted on the #999 as well as the Whiporwill, Casey had a tesured bell. (We have to stop now beucase school is ending for the day, but we will start again next week. ALex is a student who knows teh RR history. he is at the BUHS in SPeical Ed. his mom may be able to bring him to meet you guys this weekend in BF or at the Bratt Farmwers Market. He’s alos really concerned cuase you have Casey’s old #83 in a different museum. mnore later….) Judith Reichsman, paraeducator 251-0800
