This is the house where John Luther Jones was living, at the time of his death at the throttle of his engine, “Old 382”, at Vaughan, Miss., April 30, 1900. A folk song has immortalized his name.

"All the switchmen knew by the engine's moan's, that the man at the throttle was Casey Jones."

Marker can be reached from Casey Jones Lane west of Bypass U.S. 45.
