Narrative:

Flight was uneventful until the landing rollout. It was a normal landing followed by applying brakes and using reverse thrust. As the aircraft slowed the first officer called 80 KTS. I immediately went to take the engines out of reverse and bring them to idle. My intention was to bring the reverse thrust levers to the idle (the 'cracked position') and not to completely stow them (if you do this the aircraft seems give a short burst of acceleration). The left one stayed in the cracked position; but the right one fully stowed. I gave about two quick tugs with my right hand finger to try to get the right reverser back to the cracked position; but had no luck. During this time we continued to slow to somewhere around 40 KTS and started to turn off on taxiway charlie. I think when we got on charlie the right engine oil pressure came on with it chime. There was a moment of shock and trying to figure out what had happened. First officer said the engine had shut down (later mentioned that the engine had slowly wound down) and I verified that it did. At this point we had turned on taxiway alpha and stopped the aircraft. Somewhere in there the tower had called and said a lot of white smoke had come out of the engine. We told him to have the trucks come out to check it out and make sure there was no fire (no fire indications in the cockpit). I saw that the engine was totally shutdown with no other indications other than the right engine oil press displayed. I was trying to figure out what checklist to use for the engine failure situation. [We] didn't have a fire or severe damage; so I did the inflight engine shutdown checklist (looking now I should have down the engine oil press checklist). I put the thrust lever into the fuel off position. I contacted the flight attendant and said our right engine shutdown and we were going to sit for a little bit. I then made a quick PA and said something about a mechanical problem and said we would go to the gate shortly. Both the tower and crash fire rescue equipment said there was no more smoke coming from the engine. We then taxied to the gate and shutdown the other engine. On post flight; nothing abnormal was seen around the engine. Both first officer and I are baffled about what had happened and why the engine just quit. The flight was normal and landing uneventful until the rollout. The thrust lever was definitely not put into the fuel/off position (my hand was no where near the back of the thrust lever). There was the thing about the right reverser fully stowing on the thrust lever when the left one stayed cracked. I gave a brief attempt to put the right one back into the cracked position but was prevented from doing so because of the interlock (I don't know if the engine failure happened before this or after this).

Title: CRJ-200 Captain reports engine quits running at the end of landing roll; emitting a great deal of white smoke. Fuel is shut off to the engine and CFR inspects before taxi to the gate.
