In reality, while he ''was'' in a rush on that night, and he ''did'' hit a freight train, Casey was pulling a passenger train to Canton, Mississippi, and the collision was rear-end. Also, whereas Casey [[SparedByTheAdaptation survived this crash in the cartoon]], in the real crash he was the only casualty, having stayed in the cab (after beseeching his fireman to jump free) as he applied brakes to slow the speeding passenger train down from 85mph to a relatively slower 35mph, an action that arguably saved the lives of his passengers [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of his own.]]
