Illinois Central 382, known as Ole 382 or the Cannonball, was a 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler bought new from the Rogers Locomotive Works of Paterson, New Jersey, and built in 1898 for fast passenger service between Chicago and New Orleans. It is remembered as the engine Casey Jones was driving on the night of April 30, 1900, when the train ran into the back of a freight at Vaughan, Mississippi, killing him. The locomotive was rebuilt at Water Valley and returned to service, was renumbered 212, then 2012 and 5012, suffered several more accidents, and was retired and scrapped in July 1935. A stand-in locomotive painted as 382 is displayed at the Casey Jones Home and Railroad Museum in Jackson, Tennessee.
