"Photo Station" Pose in Engine Window
And in case your friends/relatives get a photo of in the photo station, they will know you are a friend/relative.
And thankfully, if you don't have a camera, in the museum shop you can buy a post card of some unknown woman posing in the photo station to send to your friends/relatives to confuse them and wonder what friend/relative she actually was.

Illinois Central ALCO (Brooks) 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive # 790 (lettered Casey Jones) is in a yard preparing for a railfan trip at an unknown location, (most likely in Iowa) circa late 1950's, photograher unknown, Charles Snyder Collection. The passenger cars used on this train are Milwaukee Road cars, as is the FM H12-44 switcher # 724, seen in the background. Railfans are plentiful in this scene with them standing in all areas. Notice the white flags mounted on the steam locomotive's smokebox indicating an extra train. Also notice the man with the young lad standing on the locomotive's pilot steps.

This attention-getting caboose is set high above the road so that visitors in Jackson, TN can find Casey Jones Village right off Interstate 40 along US45.
Casey Jones was the famous railroad engineer who in the year 1900 sacrificed his life to save his passengers on his Cannonball Express. Now, many years later in his hometown of Jackson, TN is a mega tourist attraction, Casey Jones Village. The Village starts with the Home of Casey Jones. Next, add a country store with a country buffet and a row of specialty shops. Then, add a motel where in addition to regular rooms you can sleep in an old train car. Finally, add a railroad museum built to look like an old brick passenger station and you have Casey Jones Village today.
Vaughan, Mississippi.
This is the point of collision in the wreck that killed Casey Jones.
Casey's train rounded the curve, slowing from around 75 miles per hour to about 35 miles per hour before hitting the rear of the freight train stopped within a few feet of where I was standing to take this photo.
A marker was erected near this site to mark the scene, but after several were stolen the last one was not replaced.

John Luther ("Casey") Jones (March 14, 1863 – April 30, 1900)[1] was an American railroad engineer from Jackson, Tennessee, who worked for the Illinois Central Railroad (IC). As a boy, he lived near Cayce, Kentucky, where he acquired the nickname of "Cayce" which he chose to spell as "Casey."[2] On April 30, 1900, he alone was killed when his passenger train, the Cannonball Express, collided with a stalled freight train at Vaughan, Mississippi, on a foggy and rainy night.
His dramatic death, trying to stop his train and save lives, made him a hero; he was immortalized in a popular ballad sung by his friend Wallace Saunders, an African American engine wiper for the Illinois Central Railroad
