A friend of mine was a freight conductor on the Penn Central (anybody remember PC?). On night he was in the caboose (cabin car) of a WB freight pulling out of Newark for Harrisburg. A bad guy jumped aboard and pulled a knife, requesting money from my buddy. My buddy gave him his wallet and when the BG put the knife away, my buddy pulled out a revolver. He then requested the return of his wallet. Meanwhile the train is gathering speed. So he got his wallet back and gave the BG a choice of jumping off the train, probably doing 30-40 MPH by now, or getting shot. BG jumped into the night.
