Bill Miner . . . Stagecoach & Train Robber
Excerpt: "Engineer NJ Scott eased the throttle forward on Canadian Pacific Railway's big Transcontinental Express No. 1 and drew slowly away from the water tower 200 yards west of the depot at Mission Junction, British Columbia. The headlight's powerful beam made scarcely a dint in the pitch black night, with a dense fog restricting visibility even more. Already two and a half hours late because of the fog, the veteran trainman knew he would be even farther behind schedule before reaching Vancouver 65 km (40 miles) away. His watch showed 9:30 pm. It was Saturday, September 10, 1904."
