Casey Jones. Engineer John Luther Jones, who died in a wreck of the Chicago and New Orleans Limited on March 18, 1900, probably inspired the perennially popular folk ballad, “Casey Jones.” The song’s authorship is unknown and it may have been adapted from a ballad about a black railroad fire- man. There are numerous versions of both music and lyrics, the folk song based on the tradition that “there’s many a man killed on the railroad and laid in his lonesome grave.” Casey Jones’s story was dramatized in Robert Ardrey’s Casey Jones (1938).
