Train Robberies in the Wild West

[@joshuabessire9169]

I robbed a train, once... But the Toys R Us loss prevention agent stopped me at the door and made me put it back.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

HHAAAA!

[@chrissewell1608]

I remember, as a lad, going to Six Flags over Greorgia. In the 70's & 80's they had an old west village. They would put on regular shows (dancing girls) & had gun fights! They still have a train that circles the amusement park. 🎢 Back in its hay day, there were gun fights at a train stop. It was great fun for the kids and adults! Now, I hope to enjoy it again with my grandkids! 🚂🚃🚃🚃

A guy sat next to me on the train. He pulled out a photo of his wife and said, "She's beautiful, isn't she?" I said, "If you think she is beautiful, you should see my missus." He said, "Why? Is she a stunner?" I said, "No, she's an optician!"

Thanks again Santee & Co. When I was a kid in the 70s there was the Tweetsie Raliroad that you could ride through Western North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountain range . It never got robbed because the only loot was video game tokens . There used to be a kiddie train in Duncan Park , Spartanburg S.C. that I rode as a child . Sadly , one day it crashed and a couple of children lost their lives . It never chugged again and the rails were torn out .

When I was a kid, there was a theme park named Frontier Village. All old west, store fronts, rides. They ran an old steam train and had robberies, then a shoot-out in a field as the robbers tried to escape. It was a great place for a kid to have fun. That started my interest in the old west. That and my dad always watching westerns and showing us fast draw.

[@nachoman408]

Must be from the bay! I never got to go before it's u fortunate demise but have seen videos and heard stories. My favorite being they had a fishing competition or something of the like, and the winner was crowned "Master Baiter" lmao

[@bearflagmercantile8113]

@nachoman408 yeah, at the time we lived in San Jose in the 60s it was still a decent place to live. I remember they had a fishing hole, but we never tried it. I always liked the lost Dutchman mine ride, kind of scary and funny at the same time.

I, too, have a similar memory with Sixgun Territory and Old Tucson. Now I work at one.

[@mildbill2806]

April 10th marks the 146th anniversary of the Sam Bass train robbery here in Mesquite, Texas. His gang was hoping to rob $30,000 from the express car. Three of his gang were shot in the attempt, and all they got away with was $152 in coin.

I'm definitely going to add so e train robbery scenes to the stories in my mythos series projects, that are going to be a collection of theories and hypothesis documents that will be half fiction and half nonfiction with some story elements. Today I'll bevworking on writing one of my creative theory crafting stories, which will be set on a Mesopotamia and old west frontier inspired island known own as The MidRule Isles/The MidRulian Archipelago and another story will feature some of the gods and goddesses from Mesopotamian mythology.

Was talking with my two Aunts. They told me the story ( 1880's-'90's ? )about Their Grandfather who was a Mason in Kansas City, Missouri. Throughout the year they would raise funds for widows, orphans and also bought blankets / food for a nearby Indian tribe. One day he was taking a train far from town and suddenly it came to a stop, the tracks were blocked and a large number of armed Indians swarmed the train. They forced all the men and teenage boys off the train and marched them off ( to do what with them, i don't know...ransom ? ). As they were forced along, one young buck recognized my Great GrandFather and made the sign of the Mason's to him, then stopped the procession and let the other Indians know. They knew him as a good man so told him he was free, could go. He pointed out his Mason brothers and they also were freed. I wish i was able to know more details, but that's all they could tell me. Just another story lost to time... ☆

@@ArizonaGhostriders if you read my comment carefully. You’ll see that’s also my conclusion! Just meant the classic Western fiction stile. Train stopping just in front of a single tree trunk. Unless at almost at a standstill anyways. It wouldn’t work. Simple math, too much mass, movement and friction. Would be too late when you saw it at normal speed. There are several other ways to do it. These things stopped for watering and coal for example.
