Cayce was a special commission by two collectors from Memphis, Tennessee, Gary Conner and Harold Schwartz. James Luther Jones, from Cayce, Kentucky, died in a famous train wreck in April, 1900. The folk song about Casey Jones says he was engineering Engine 382 for the Central and Illinois Railroad and that the wreck occurred sometime between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. The flag on the engine has a C and an I for the railroad company. The coins say railroad and the penny indicates the event took place in the early 1900's. |
