==What Makes Him an Entertaining Dark Horse?==
*Despite only appearing in five scenes, many fans regard him as one of the popular characters in Dumbo, after the flying elephant, as well as being one of the well known fictional locomotives, along with Thomas the Tank Engine.
*He is arguably well known for his catchy theme song, written by Oliver Wallace, Frank Churchill, and Ned Washington, which plays whenever he and his circus train are traveling throughout the United States.
*One of the concepts behind his popularity is the fact that he is actually named after the brave engineer called Casey Jones, who died in a train collision. 
*His brave, smart, and loyal traits played a part in his popularity.
** When he is seen traveling up a steep hill, he actually uses the same lines from the Little Engine That Could that can help himself and his heavy train climb over and down a mountain.
*He also appears in other Disney projects, such as the Reluctant Dragon where he's the main character, which cements how well known he is. Additionally, he wasn’t shown in House of Mouse or Once Upon a Studio, which a lot of railfans aren’t happy about, even though he’s still regarded to be one of the popular characters of Dumbo. 
*He also can be found in many of the Disneyland appearances based from the movie he originated from, as well as a rare book on how the circus hired him.
