Stub, calling all Dead Heads[edit]

I'm adding this to differentiate this and the folk song. I'll start it, but I really need someone to expand it. The referrence is a start.Pustelnik (talk) 15:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Has there ever been a claim that Casey Jones was really "high on cocaine" at the time of the wreck or ever? 65.189.216.77 (talk) 09:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The actual Casey Jones was a celebrated train engineer, and there has never been any question of substance abuse.

Incidentally, the lyric is often reported as "Casey Jones is ready/watch your speed" -- any comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nametag (talkcontribs) 06:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
