I saw this when I was under 5yo and this is the only episode I remember any details of. The locomotive being accused of starting fires. Memory is a strange thing.
Alan because of his father new everyone in Hollywood and had a famous seafood restaurant and was a all-around good sport and was well liked by everyone.
You know, I even thought as a preschooler that he had a funny way of stopping a train. I'll bet it didn't do the rails any good, either. The show was being aired in Britain in the late 1960s and was one of my favourites, and that's when I watched it originally. I never saw it again until last week! Great plots, eh? Every single episode seems to involve some scuzzball trying to pull something nefarious. Perhaps that was considered a winning formula by American television executives in the 1950s.
@@JohnDavies-cn3ro In current times, that is certainly true, but I'm afraid no country is immune. It's a shame what's happened to England too, with such a dignified history.
Interestingly |Dub Taylor went on to play an engine driver in the James Stewart film "Shenandoah". Wally must have got promoted - and does anyone know (a) what other films/tv series he appeared in? or indeed, the rest of the cast?
"I'd like to know what's locked in that doohickey!" - Wallie (at 5:59). This is very interesting, as the word "doohickey" is first attested in 1914, years after Casey Jones died.
No. The series took place as if the crash never happened. But, in the episode that had Morgan's Marauders he did crash the train on secret orders from Midwest & Centrals president Nathaniel Carter
Have to admit I cringed at every stop that was made! So hard on drive wheels of loco. Supposed to stop slowly & evenly minimizing wear & tear on equipment. Great series!
I saw this series as a child, and tha's why I spent my life at the railroad ❤😉
👍🏻
You lucky dog ! If I had life to do over again, I'd hook up with a railroad. I always feel at home near the tracks.
That would've been cool.
Same here WVR 2503 willamete valley RR.
Me too.

RIP, Alan Hale, the REAL Casey Jones!
Actor
Alan because of his father new everyone in Hollywood and had a famous seafood restaurant and was a all-around good sport and was well liked by everyone.
Alan Hale also made a film in England called the Iron Maiden which as far I can remember was filmed at Woburn Abbey
And both the showman's engine and the wooden replica, built for the closing stunt, still exist.
For as iconic as it is, i find it hard to believe Sierra Number 3 doesn't have a model
she kinda did, the mantua 4-6-0. but it would be nice to see a new sierra number 3, especially how popular she was and still is
Fun Fact: Casey Jones is played by the late Alan Hale. He was best known for his role as the Skipper from Gilligan's Island.
Respectfully, the skipper on Gilligan’s Island was played by Alan Hale’s son, Alan Hale Jr.
@@williampaz2092 They are a perfect resemblance of each other.
Duh
also appeared in a steam engine film called the Iron Maidrn. I believe.
From train engineer to skipper
Lawyers and career politicians.........only "remorseful" when they get caught.
Agreed and hardly a coincidence that most politicians are lawyers.
they’re only sorry for getting caught 🤥
sounds to what happened in the UK
what a great classic to watch
CASEY JONES THE SHERLOCK HOLMES OF THE RAILROAD.
Yeah! This is it! Did I love this show!😊❤
casey prove him and the cannon ball insent
Casy must have a lot of flat edges on his wheels.

@@mosseisleyYT Or it was possibly quite an accurate reflection of life across the Pond?
@@mosseisleyYT Maybe The Adventures of Superman set the "scuzzball trying to pull something nefarious" standard.

@John Davies Yes, it was especially dignified when those four knights lopped the top of Thomas Becket's head off.
That clock must be connected to the main computer.I remember one episode had the professor in it from gillis island.I remember this one too
The Skipper, I mean Casey couldnt do nothing bad.
Criminals rolled over easy in those days. Within seconds the guilty parties were confessing.
I kept expecting to see Gilligan as his Brakeman
😂
now days, Ginger would be the master mechanic
He was hiding in the caboose while boinking MaryAnn.
Gilligan: Hey Skipper - when you're done making this movie, Ginger wants to get boinked in the caboose !
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The Bible reference us Job 5:7. I looked it up.

Dub played a minor role in Back to the future 3. As we know the same locomotive was in both
"I'd like to know what's locked in that doohickey!" - Wallie (at 5:59). This is very interesting, as the word "doohickey" is first attested in 1914, years after Casey Jones died.
he possibly said that because he hadn't heard of a Dutch Clock before
Was the steam locomotive used in the Casey series the same one used in Petticoat Junction?
yes it is
Ask Uncle Joe - he would know.
Spy in the cab keeping the working man down
👍👍
Did they ever do an episode of his crash?
I was wondering that too, but probably not xxx
No. The series took place as if the crash never happened. But, in the episode that had Morgan's Marauders he did crash the train on secret orders from Midwest & Centrals president Nathaniel Carter
@@DubPaj the wanted to scrap it that's way Casey caused it to crash
Nope
The bad guy admits he did it in the end... Could you imagine Trump doing that? Ha!
This is Allen Hale Jr. Not Hale Sr.
Is it my imagination? The smartly suited guy with the hanky in his breast pocket reminds me of Kirk Douglas! Wh was the actor?
No sir. That was William Bakewell
Casey should be fired for the way he stops the engine. He’s damaging the equipment and tracks. Fire his a$$
Plus a rogue run in the wee hours. A firing offense.
