BnB, would you enlighten us as to what you're carrying that would make you a target of a train robbery OR is this just another charge that can be levied against the pos criminals? Hope your buddy is okay and tell um to keep his ass inside the train. He has his family depending upon him so he can't be taking chances like that.
Iffin yer hirin train guards I'm sure ol' Cdog, myself, beastof73 and a few others could be convinced to ride shotgun for you. We'll bring our own "boolits" but we get to keep the reward and the pelts.

I was thinking the same thing.
Thoughts and Prayers are with him and the family and friends.:)

You know, thats a good question...we do have a cafe car on board, and that has money, obviously, they said something to one of the crewmembers that got that charge thrown in. They are to be tried in Federal court, as it is a federal crime to assault an engineer on duty...as are most of his charges..a mis of civil and federal charges...I could use the train gaurds, come on up...thanks for the help...:D
