Train robbery

Train robbery was a crime that occurred mainly in the middle-to-late 19th century.

In a train robbery, passengers of the train's carriages (generally unarmed) would be held at gunpoint and made to hand over any valuables they were carrying (usually jewelry or currency).

Famous train robbers include Jesse James. (more needed)
