Information About

Train Robbery




If the outlaw was unsatisfied with the goods, passengers of the Train 's Carriage s who would be generally unarmed would be held at Gun point and made to hand over any valuables they were carrying, usually in the form of Jewelry or Currency .

Contrary to the method romanticized by Hollywood , outlaws generally never jumped from Horseback onto a moving train. Usually, they would either board the train and wait for a good time to initiate the Heist , or they would stop or Derail the train and then begin the holdup.

Famous train robbers include Bill Miner , Jesse James and Butch Cassidy .
