(1958) Set in Tennessee in the 1890's, featuring Alan Hale Jr. as the legendary John Luther 'Casey Jones', engineer-driver with Illinois Central Railroad's Cannonball Express. The storylines invariably involved attempts by rivals, the elements or outlaws to prevent Casey bringing the train in on time - but he always did.
Also starred Eddy Waller as Red Rock (the conductor), Dub Taylor as Wallie Simms (the fireman) Bobby Clark as Casey Jr. and Mary Lawrence as Alice Jones, his wife. The dog was called Cinders.
