This is a short documentary about the life and death of Casey Jones, a famous railroad engineer who died in a train wreck in 1900. Casey gave his life to save his passengers, and became the subject of a wellknown folk song. This documentary dramatizes the crash, and the events leading up to it, using models and practical effects to bring the scenes to life.

I've been working on this video for over 2 months, and it's by far the most ambitious project I've ever attempted for this channel. While I was hoping to release it on April 30, the anniversary of the wreck, life got in the way and I didn't manage to finish it by then. The reason I decided to do this was because I haven't been able to find any film recreations of Casey's actual wreck, so I decided to try and make one myself, and it only made sense to build a full video around it, covering Casey's life and cultural impact.
