Later in the film, after Dumbo was unable to reach the top of the pyramid of elephants in the act, due to the tent collapsing, Casey travels sadly throughout a rainy night whistling a sad melody as the elephants exclude Dumbo from their act and he is put into the clown act.Īt the end of the film where Dumbo becomes a circus star, a happy Casey is seen wearing a wreath of flowers around him, smiling with joy. A second later, Casey starts to rest in for the night and the workers and animals begin setting up the circus tent.

He hits the brakes so hard that the cars he is hauling bump into one another and bounce the animals around, waking them up for work. Later that stormy night, Casey stops at the station where the circus will be built at for the next day. Jumbo is waiting in the Elephant car as he delivers her a newborn baby elephant named 'Jumbo Junior' by his mother, whom the elephants call him 'Dumbo'. Stork arrives late and flies towards Casey Junior, where Mrs. Although anxious to get started at first, Casey travels across the American countryside from the Winter Headquarters very bravely. After all the animals successfully board the circus cars, the Ringmaster then shouts 'All aboard' so that Casey can get ready to travel to the spot where the circus will perform. While the sound of the voice resembles that of one processed through a vocoder, it was actually done with a more primitive device, a Sonovox, which uses one or two small loudspeakers in contact with the throat, which allowed Wright to 'speak' by modulating an artificially produced sound with her mouth.Īt the beginning of the film, the circus workers get all the animals ready on Casey's circus train, including Mrs. He uses his steam cylinders like limbs, giving him the ability to shrug, point and make other gestures. In addition, he can twist and flex his metal body to express motion.

For example, when the Ringmaster calls, 'All aboard! All aboard!', his whistle can be heard calling in response, 'All aboard! Let's go!'Īs is the case with most of Disney's early cartoon vehicles, Casey has the ability to move more fluidly than real-life locomotives, and his boiler is often seen bending and twisting like rubber when in motion. He appears frequently throughout the film and is shown to be somewhat sintient. His wheel pistons are often used as 'arms', like when he has to climb up a difficult mountain.Ĭasey is a 2-4-0 American steam tender locomotive hauling the WDP Circus train, and he even has his own theme song.

The latter has a vague shape of a face, with two headlights in place of eyes and a cylinder-shaped structure protruding forward functioning as his nose. Casey is a 2-4-0 American steam tender locomotive with a small, four-wheeled tender full of coal at the back, a big, tall smokestack, a small headlamp in a baseball cap-shaped casing, a tall steam dome with a whistle on top, and a small cowcatcher on his front.
