It was on April 30, 1900, when John Luther "Casey" Jones was in his famous fatal crash, thereby becoming a legend in song. Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Jones, Johnny Cash version of "Casey Jones" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03jwHrO7ubI. I also always liked "Freight Train Boogie" which is about Casey Jones. A good bluegrass version by the band Special Consensus is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DNPurA8a3k.
