I watched a special the other night on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on the History Channel. Their reenactment of the multiple train robberies all seemed to be shot on the Durango and Silverton railroad... and at one point, Butch and the Kid go wandering through a narrow gauge passenger car, pillaging the passengers, and the narrator says in a serious tone, "This is how the Wild Bunch robbed a Union Pacific train." Yup, I'm being picky; how many UP trains are there still up and running from the circa 1890's? Yet this was a documentary- they were trying to show facts, not cartoon characters. I love watching the Durango and Silverton- probably the prettiest railroad on earth, scenary wise- BUT- showing a train full of happy tourists getting "robbed" by the Wild Bunch- spoiled the documentary for me. <br /> <br />Erik
