The 382
24 x 22 inches (image area 18 x 15 inches) $345 | buy online now From I Dream of Trains, by Angela Johnson, winner of the Golden Kite Award and selected as one of the New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing, 2003. CLOSE-UP DETAILS FROM PRINT: This picture is my rendition of the railroad legend Casey Jones and his engine, the 382. Perhaps he would stand and pause majestically before another run on the Cannonball, the Illionis Central route between Canton, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee. He became famous along that route for his locomotive whistle and skill as an engineer and legendary after his tragic train wreck on April 30, 1900 outside Vaughan, Mississippi.
