Masked riders visit the train as soon as passengers board |
Outlaws watch the train depart on the 6-hour trip |
Stella Rose, leader of the outlaw gang, is a prisoner of the Sheriff on the train |
The Preacher reminded the passengers of Stella's sinful ways |
Saloon girls (my 17-year-old great niece and 34-year-old niece) visit with passengers |
Even floozies have relatives: my 92-year-old mother and two brothers |
Passengers, many of them senior citizens, enjoy the interaction |
A 1904 caboose makes its debut on the trip into roadless territory |
Outlaws stop the train and board to remove the money and beads handed out to passengers before the trip |
Stella Rose, with the help of the saloon girls and the Preacher, turns the tables on the Sheriff |
It wasn't in the script, but the outlaws' horses were at the wrong end of the train! |

WoW! That would be so much fun, I already love trains, so this would just be over the top exciting! LOVE that last shot, too... reminds me of the 'old west' outlaw pics we (my parents & 2 brothers - before my lil sis was born) had made at Six Flags when i was a kid - during the 'Gunsmoke' days at Six Flags! Oh what fun we had... saloon dresses, guns, whiskey bottles, etc... =)
