Hooterville Cannonball
The ''Hooterville Cannonball'' is a fictional railroad train featured in ''Petticoat Junction'', an American situation comedy that originally aired on CBS from 1963 to 1970, and was produced by Filmways, Inc. The show was created by the same producers of ''Green Acres'' and ''The Beverly Hillbillies'', and it shares some characters and its locale, the fictional town of Hooterville, with ''Green Acres''. The shows feature rural characters in humorous and sometimes absurd situations.
==Petticoat Junction==
The most unusual "character" in the ''Petticoat Junction'' cast is the ''Hooterville Cannonball'', an 1890s abbreviated train with a steam locomotive, tender, and single combination baggage and passenger car. The train is operated more like a taxi service by engineer Charley Pratt (Smiley Burnette) and conductor Floyd Smoot (Rufe Davis). It operates on a long forgotten spur between Hooterville and Pixley that is no longer connected to the railway's main line after the collapse of a bridge trestle that was never repaired. It is not uncommon the ''Cannonball'' to make an unscheduled stop in order to go fishing or pick fruit for Kate Bradley's menu at the Shady Rest Hotel. Occasionally, Betty Jo Bradley can be found with her hand on the ''Cannonball's'' throttle, as driving the train home from trips into town is one of her favorite pastimes.
J. Homer Bedloe (played by Charles Lane) is vice president of the C.&F.W. Railroad, the owner of the ''Cannonball''. Bedloe is a mean-spirited executive, and he periodically visits the Shady Rest Hotel and attempts to end the train service of the ''Hooterville Cannonball'' (and never succeeds).
In Episode 31 of Season 1, "Charley Abandons The Cannonball," engineer Charley Pratt picks up his guitar and sings an ode to the train. The lyrics are sung roughly to the tune of "Wabash Cannonball".
