AndrewC Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I could never figure out how Casey Jones managed to get to and from that desert island every week, and why didn't Gilligan come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sc59401 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Another one here, I remember watching "Casey Jones" and "Steam Horse, Iron Road" when I was a laddie. I think the latter was on Sunday afternoons here (west of Scotland). I don't remember a great deal about it apart from the title sequence shot from the footplate of a tall-chimneyed steam locomotive. Edit: On second thoughts it was indeed on Sunday mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I also think "Steam Horse, Iron Road" may have been on a Sunday. The loco in the opening shot was 'Lion', with a view of the outside-cranked rods. I'm certain the clip was taken from "The Titfield Thunderbolt". I always thought that fascinating, as it was so different to any steam loco I had seen up until then! I can't remember the real days of steam, (I blame my dad for not taking me to see them, and he's an enthusiast too!), so my earliest memory was on the Bluebell, mid 60s, and sadly the Dukedog wasn't running whenever I went.

RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted January 18, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2010 I remember wathcing Casey Jones avidly when I were a lad. Memory may be playing tricks on me, but I seem to recall lots of wheelslip and heavy braking, locking the wheels of the loco and then throwing it in reverse. I suspect the fitters would have been less happy with Casey than we kids were... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the fitters would have been less happy with Casey than we kids were... Well, that was an early method of loco braking, when their brakes were next to useless, but I doubt it was really done so enthusiastically (if at all, except in a real emergency) in the years Casey Jones is supposed to be set (around 1900).

Poggy1165 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I remember another kid's programme called Union Pacific. Or rather, I don't remember much about it except the adventures were set around the building of the railway (or railroad I suppose one should say).

bertiedog Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Union Pacific was an American Western television series starring Jeff Morrow, Judson Pratt and Susan Cummings that aired in US TV syndication from 1958 until 1959. This show was inspired by the 1939 film also named Union Pacific, starring Joel McCrea, Barbara Stanwyck, and Robert Preston.(Cecil B. DeMille)(from Wikipedia) No clips on Youtube of the show, unfortunately. Appears to have been shown in the UK on ITV, Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
