Casey Jones was not yet 15 in February 1878, and he died in 1900. I believe Casey is implied as the conductor, and is speaking to Elephant, "I wish I wished you well..."

I think Casey Jones' name is being used more generally than specifically to simply refer to the conductor of a train, instead of the actual historical Casey Jones.
