I robbed a train, once...
But the Toys R Us loss prevention agent stopped me at the door and made me put it back.
HHAAAA!
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!"
HAHA!
Are you a dad?
@@ArizonaGhostriders i thought robbers waved a red light to stop the train that they were going to rob
@@eliotreader8220 I'm sure some did. There wasn't just one way to stop a train.
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! 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Had the same thing at dog patch in the 80a
Had the same thing at dog patch in Arkansas back in the 80s
Fun!
Unfortunately, at Six Flags over Georgia now, the gunfights are for real.
Went to Six Flags in Texas in the early 90's, they had an old west gun fight show then as well
"Robin Hood" more like "Hoods out Robbin' Lee Marvin, great way to start a Saturday! Thanks for the visit Santee
Any time!
Wasn't expecting the reno gang to come up today! I live in the town where they're buried, and had to do an essay on them when I was in grade school
They sure didn't....hang around long. Sorry.
@@ArizonaGhostriders 😂 they really got hung out to dry
Happy Easter eve Santee and Arizona ghostriders!! Was wondering could you cover Church in the old west?
You as well. I did do one on religion!
Happy Easter.
Good work Santee😊
Thank You!
Ha, ha, ha…don’t give up your day job. You’re a terrible train robber. Another great start for my weekend.😊
😁
The old west: where if an outlaw gang threatened to run a train on your girlfriend they meant it literally.....and tied her up on the tracks to stop the train so they could rob it
Only if you could have Dudley Do-Right untie her before the train came
Well, at least you keept on track and didn't derail
Picked up steam in the end
Santee, Love it. Thank you very much for another Great Old West content video. You and Mrs. Pew Pew have a beautiful and blessed Happy Easter weekend. Your Gunslinger Brother
Same to you!
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.
Cool history, eh?
.......Somebody robbed the Glendale train, this morning at half past nine... Somebody robbed the Glendale train and I swear, I ain't lying...
🤠🤠
Poop, number 2 lol loving the video
Good
If you all are going to do more train robbery videos, you should include "Black Jack" Tom Ketchum and how his robbing days were finally ended in 1901. Quite the story.
Oh yes.
Good morning Santee. We have discussed before. You said you have done this before but I can’t find the episode. Could you post the link or whatever they call it please. The subject is Old West Preacher; Dressing the Part. Thanks partner.
I did one on religion in the Old West, maybe not a dressing the part yet.
Robbing s train seems like it would be difficult. Never know how many passengers are carrying guns.
That's true. However, being seated you might have a disadvantage. Not certain on that...
Always enjoy you mentioning Cousin Jesse in your videos. Love the hat in this episode. Would look good with an officer's hat chord.
Thanks. I actually reshaped it a bit after filming.
in school I learned that the first train robbery was in 1866 but I believe it was in 1862 starting the Great locomotive chase of 1862. literally stealing a train should count in my opinion.
Robbing trains early in the period was smart.
There is a very good, old (true) story about a train robbery gone wrong, that took place up in the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon - Northern California. Another example of using way too much dynamite 🤕
Yeah, and one with Elmer McCurdy where he melted the silver to the safe with too much explosive.
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... ☆
Great info!
Trains and the west, my 2 favorite things. Though, could you do a video on ear protection (if there was any)? Cause like the end of your video, guns are LOUD! Thanks!
They are.
Great video Santee and I always enjoy your history background. When I was a boy we had stagecoach robberies out in Brooklyn Michigan, they had a old westtown.
Wow!! It's still around. It's called Stagecoach Stop and now it's a haunted Halloween attraction.
Great video, Santee! Train robberies are one of my absolute favourite parts of Old West History. I love doing my own ones in Red Dead Redemption 2. I was wondering if I could ask: what movie footage did you use in this video? I'd really like to look the lesser known of these movies up, seeing as they include train robberies. If it's no bother, do you think you could include which movie footage you use in the credits/description of your videos in the future? There are often movies that I like the look of in your videos, but I don't recognize the lesser known ones. :)
So cool and thanks for commenting.
My Grandpa hopped a freight train once. Funnily I made wanted posters of him for that exact reason. He's a regular outlaw!
Cool!
In Southern California they had Knott's Berry farm lots of stagecoach robbers and shootouts and train Robin going on there it was great.
Thanks for another amazing video. They're just over too soon. 🤠
Very cool! They still have it!
If my source is correct (he liked to embellish) the Pinkerton were actually deputized and even now are considered sworn officers (the railroad police)
Some yes.
I always loved how Butch Cassidy and Sundance got to know the man's name in the train's mail car. They were on a first name basis after a while. No matter what, he was going to do his job and the boys came to be concerned about his well being. Even though they were going to rob that train. LOL. Talk about dedication on both sides. :))
It's a long time favorite movie of mine.
Very good movie.
As usual Santee, I like your videos. I wish our group in Payson AT had a train to rob or even stagecoaches. You seem to have a great place to play at times. -Kid Yuma
Thanks, Pard!
Whips In The Old West
(My Logo Has A Guy Using A Coachwhip)
Coming up soon.
While taking BCT at Ft Leonard Wood they took us to Silver Dollar City on a Sunday for some R&R. the train there got robbed.
Fun stuff!
Look up the Newton brothers from Uvalde, Texas. Last of the western train robbers.
Yes.
train robber...."your money or your life,
Jack Benny..."don't rush me, I'm thinking"
🤠
Yeah Sundance but banks don't move
LOL!
I live right across the road from Roaring Camp RR. Nothing to steal but mighty pretty country.
Nice!!!
Knott’s Berry Farm’s Train ride is usually held up by villains these days (hide your valuables)😊
HA!
Deleted this comment the first time, but why not bring it back? This was perfect timing, because the players in my Deadlands campaign are going to be robbing a train within the next few sessions. Instead of stealing anything on the train though, they're going after the special locomotive.
Cool! 🥃
Train robberies aren't necessarily a thing of the past. I remember reading some years ago of people that were robbing the passengers on the Amtrak trains that ran from LA to San Bernardino, because that corridor is so slow. Typical gang stuff; they weren't after the baggage car.
Right!
The stunted robberies and shootouts were always a huge draw at the “old” Old Tucson, specially for us kids.
Good news is they are still there. We hae brought back the "old"
It seems to me that if people, both back then and today, spent as much time and effort on legal activity they would come out ahead in the long run. Maybe it’s just me. 😂
Maybe.
Are there any cases in the Old West where a train robbed the bandits? Thanks Santee! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
When they charged too much for a ticket, maybe.
The Firefly Train Heist episode is great fun. I highly recommend it.
Thank You!
Who in Sam's Hill keeps hiring Santee for these train robberies? Haha. Happy Easter🐰🐰🐰
Happy Easter
Thank You!
You too
Your vids are great! Informative as well as entertaining. Please keep up the good work 🤠
Glad you like them!
Durn tootin I’m still around. Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise. 😁
Awesome to hear!
People my age back then literally robbed trains, the closest I ever got to stealing was a snicker bar from my friend
Snickers are good.
GREAT VIDEO ON A GREAT SUBJECT.MY LATE AUNT CAME FROM ARIZONA AND HER GREAT -GREAT UNCLES WERE THE BURROW BROTHERS WHO ALSO ROBBED TRAINS BACK THEN.SHE TOLD ME BEDTIME STORIES ALL ABOUT THEIR EXPLOITS. HOPR YOU AND FAMILY HAVE A GREAT EASTER WEEKEND. GOD BLESS
Thank You! You have a happy Easter.
5 things I have to talk about, santee 1 great video santee I love trains 2 did they have chocolate Easter eggs in america in the 1800s 4 santee please make more youtube shorts there really good
Thank You! Yes, in the 1870s
Mexican Train Conductor: “Big boulder on track, so train stop, but soldiers on train so bandits have big surprise waiting for them, not-many-passengers-get-killed.” (LOL! Like, “one of our better days on this run”)
-Treasure of the Sierra Madre
HAH!
This was so informative, AS ALWAYS, Santee. Loved the visuals, and audios used to bring things to life. Suffice it to say, traveling wasn't easy, in those days.
🚂🛤🚃🐎🤗...👏🏻👏🏻
Well said!
@Arizona Ghostriders, Santee, what movie is that @0:50?
Hot Bath and a Stiff Drink. Not out yet.
Got a question:
When there were cattle drives, did the cowboys work 7 days a week?
I have a video on cattle drives. Enjoy it.
Another great video! The ear ringing after the ghostly shotgun blast was a nice touch.
Thank You!
Think ya used enough Dynamite there Butch? Love that movie.
Yep!
Could you make a frontiersman dressing the part video
Pretty sure I did.
Going to the range, oh yeah, going to the range. A happy hello from Missouri!
Yeehaw!
Glad you found the clip. This was great.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks.
How and when the train replaced the stage coach and what the Indians thought of both.
Didn't really replace it since there was still a need in areas where trains weren't operating. Native Americans were very startled by trains!!
Awesome video Santee. Thanks for all the history. Have a great weekend. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Great show has always my Saturday is almost complete, thank you guys and keep up!
Glad you enjoy it!
Happy Easter Santee, I enjoy your videos a great deal...
You as well. Thanks.
So I know I usually stop by with a one liner, or something to raise a chuckle. But this time something different to share the Safe aboard the train car blew up by Butch and the gang... @ the bridge over the north platte river of Wilcox. Well the safe has most likely more of my finger prints on it than Butch or Sundance. It was for years in the museum at Medicine bow Wyoming, I was drafted into helping get it on a pallet and load onto a truck bound to the university of Wyoming.
Mountain man
You rapscallion!
2:21 as it turns out murderus bandits aren't very good people
Yeah, right? However, some folks in Missouri think Jesse James is a hero. I didn't think heros killed innocent people for monetary gain.
Back in ‘88 when I operated a train similar to the one you got there Santee we never got robbed thankfully. I suppose that because we were located at our local zoo the rapscallions were afraid we’d feed them to the lions if caught.
Maybe!! LOL!
I remember hearing one story where the guys robbithe train were so incompetent that they only got around $50 off the passengers & crew cuz they used too much dynamite on the safe the explosion shredded the cash
I think I mentioin them in my dumb outlaws video.
Wow that tinnitus ring is super accurate, oh wait that mine still going. 😅
HAHA! Not really funny, since I have it, too.
Did people buy or make ammunition for their use?
I have a video on that. Check the Firearms playlist.
You really built up a lot of steam on this one and railed it right along. Got a bang out of it.
Just keeping it rail.
It was August of that year! Good looking group too!
Thank You!
yeah robbing trains was a good way to get the Pinkerton's sent after you
It was!
"Use enough dynamite there, Butch?"
The cow adds to the ambience. Use the "moo"! 😁
😃
Happy Easter, Santee and all of the Ghostriders!!
You as well.
Just watch the 1969 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' movie last night!
Awesome
I had fun here naming the films that the clips came from!
Good! I'll always fill in what you can't find.
Never fire a gun indoors! Without ear covering.
Huh? What?? I couldn't hear you.
Santee, it seems we share a very rare distinction. Being shot at by Gatling guns during a train robbery.
Is that so? Wow, a couple of us survived!
Love the hat in the location partner looking good
Thank You! Right after that I reshaped the one I wore in the intro. Kind of John Wayne looking now.
Now I’m thinking of two movies: 1) The Train Robbers, with John Wayne, Ricardo Montelban, Ben Johnson, and Ann Margaret; and The Great Train Robbery about the one in Britain in the 20th Century.
You’re thinking of Buster with Phil Collins? The British film?
@@markunger1098 is that a 1960s film?
Two great films!!
My great great grandma was in a candy shop back in the late 1800s when a bunch of outlaws robbed the place but found her hiding under a counter and they gave her candy the leader was 3 finger jack of Arizona I can't remember his actual name but later he was given both barrels from a 10 gauge in a failed train robbery he was able to jump back onto his horse but died shortly after I saw a picture of his body after he died and yeah there was definitely no surviving that😭
Update did some more research and the outlaws name was jack Dunlop he was shot with 11 pellets
Yes. Nowadays he would have survived that wound.
Cowboy coffee and Arizona Ghostriders. Good morning
How do you make cowboy coffee
@@TexasNationalist1836 handful of grounds in a boiling coffee pot. Let sit, then add a tiny bit of cold water to let the grounds settle.
You as well!
One of those trains is obviously from amusement park ride.
Yep. I work on a movie set that has one of those that travels around.
Thanks for another educational video, Head Honcho. I'm wondering if there ever will be a video about writing utensils (pencils, fountain pens, typewriters etc.) in the old west. I mean, even train robbers had to keep track of their ill-gotten gains somehow, right?
I do have one. "How They Wrote"
@@ArizonaGhostriders Found it. Checking it out right now
Also I’ll be having some different western themed logos as well .
Cool!
So very awsomely interestingly informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it, I learned alot about train robberies from the old west frontier and got a lot of inspiration for my old west frontier, retro video game's, retro eras, Mesopotamian mythology and mythological history, metaphysical, philosophical, early eologic time periods and parapsychological mythos projects' Mysteriarch Mythos series
Great job and well done, keep up the great work.
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.
Lofty goals that you can reach, Chelsea.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks.
Not to long ago I got done gathering all the character names that my stories needed from two baby names videos and now I'm ready to give the four newer characters names finally.
I'm also getting ready to find some interesting videos for my research, learning and inspiration for my story notes that I already started writing this morning.
As I try to picture the first time the idea of robbing a train was presented, there is always alcohol involved. I doubt it was just the author of the concept drinking. Obviously, someone tried it. Best of Days to all the Ghostriders.
I am inspired by bourbon. If they were, then hats off to them.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Indeed. Cheers!
Santee , this video was very informative and entertaining !
By the way was that Harrison Ford at 2:02 doing the hold up ??
Have a Great Day and be BLESSED 😊
Yes, in the movie Frisco Kid.
Thanks Santee 😊
Hey Santee, have you ever bought a hat from historical emporium? And if so, are they durable and decent for a film maker/stunt man?
Never bought anything from them, but their stuff looks good. I assume it is good quality.
@@ArizonaGhostriders always appreciate the feedback. You have a good day.
I'd have to imagine that it takes a lot of takes
At times it does.
😂 Cows on the line, that'll stop the train. 🐮🚂Happy Easter Santee🐰🐣🤠 😂
yes!
I tried to hold up a train once.
I dont have the strength required to lift it.
Yeah, I've made that mistake.
Railroads took a very dim view of robbery. The law was bad enough. The Pinkertons are unlikely to let you live
Yeah, if they caught you. Lead poisonin'!!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders … the Pinkerton’s had long memories
I have always wondered how they pulled off train robberies. It isn't easy to climb on a train at most places and it seemed easy to guard the places where someone could pull it off.
It's tricky if it's moving.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I know as my family were railroad men
another awesome job thank you
Thank you too!
always enjoy your videos 🤠
I appreciate that!
Robbinhood or robbng the hood ?????
HAHA!
My tinntus just kicked in again! 😱😖
Yep
I've got to get out your way one day Santee
Yes
Never a disappointment!
Thank You!
In games like red dead redemption there are armored train cars, and I notice that there’s a scene with one in this video, how difficult was it to break into one of those compared to a normal bank/train?
It would've been better to just not deal with it. "Move along", as they say!
@@ArizonaGhostriders awesome, thanks.
Got some Arbuckle coffee, doing some writing, smoking a pork shoulder, and a new episode of AZ Ghostriders.
Life is good.
How do you keep the pork shoulder lit?...
@@mikereinhardt4807lol, I see what you did there.
Awesome, thanks!
