Over 100 years ago, a locomotive engineer by the name of Casey Jones caught the attention of the entire world through his act of heroism. In the years that followed, the "brave engineer" became America's symbol of the dedicated men and women who worked proudly in the craft of locomotive engineer.
But most Americans at that time did not know the real world of Casey Jones, one of thousands of locomotive engineers struggling every day with long work hours and dangerous working conditions.
