On April 30, 1900, 106 years ago today, Johnathan Luther "Casey" Jones, ran his passenger train into a stopped freight train at Vaughn, Mississippi, inspiring a genre of ballad. "The Brave Engineer," page 34, Trains, April 2000.

I believe the museum at Vaughn shut down due to funding issues (Katrina). The Casey Jones Museum at Jackson, TN is still there.
