Zeb and Zeek, No. 77 and No. 75, two American Mastodon 4-8-0 tender engines, who are pulling it. The conductor sees the other train, runs up, and attempts to warn Casey about the oncoming train, but fails to get the message, and jumps off the train when Casey doesn't notice it until it is too late, causing the two trains to collide with a large explosion, only for the conductor on his train to be seen in the next shot of a goof. The conductor and other railroad employees like the freight train drivers and firemen are able to jump clear of the collision and explosion. The Western Mail is almost completely destroyed, but much to the porter's disappointment of thinking being late, he sees Casey arrive at his destination, with the remains of Johnny, almost on time. Differences between the cartoon and real life The shorts depicts the accident as a head-on collision in an Ozark-like mountain range near Reno, Wyoming. In real life, Jones' engine struck the back of a train that had stopped near Vaughan due to a broken air line. The accident takes place in broad daylight and clear conditions in the short. The real accident occurred at night during a rainstorm. The short ends with Casey looking mildly injured after the wreck, but very much alive. In real life, Jones was critically injured and did not survive the accident. Casey operates Johnny No. 2 single-handedly in the short. In real life, Jones was assisted by Sim Webb. Johnny is an American Standard 4-4-0 tender engine No. 2 taking the Western Mail in the short, (Possibly resembling Central pacific #173). Jones' real engine was an American 4-6-0 engine No. 382 nicknamed "Ole 382" and "Cannonball" since No. 99, an American 4-6-0 tender engine, is doiled up as a replica of that engine, which was originally scrapped in 1935. Zeb and Zeek No. 77 and No. 75 are two American Mastodon 4-8-0 tender engines in the cartoon on the other train. The railroad that Casey & his engine Johnny ran through Fort Reno to Frisco may had possibly The First transcontinental railroad not the Illinois Central Railroad like their real life counterparts worked on. Casey Jones' train (Which consists of Johnny/No. 2, the mail car & caboose #53) has reappeared in Out of Scale and A Cowboy Needs a Horse. Home media The short was released on
