Although it happened as I have written it, it was NOT the first train Robbery in the west.
A train robbery in Verdi, Nevada took place in 1870. Five men, led by a
stage robber-Sunday school superintendent, John Chapman, boarded the Central Pacific Overland Express at Verdi, Nevada. Two took over the engine, one the express car, and two the rear platform. One half mile east, the engine and express car were halted and cut free, then proceeded about five miles where they were stopped by a barricade. Here the robbers forced the messenger to open up. Seizing $41,600 in gold coin, they rode off.
After a two state chase all were caught, tried, and convicted, about ninety percent of the gold was recovered.
