The First Train Robbery in the United States, North Bend, Ohio

www.HistoryInYourOwnBackyard.com info@HistoryInYourOwnBackyard.com 812-623-5727 Terry Simpson gives us the story about the first train robbery to happen in the United States. It happened on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad just west of downtown Cincinnati. The train left Cincinnati at 8:00 pm on May 5th, 1865. The robbery occurred about 17 miles west of Cincinnati where Fort Finney use to stand near the present day Miami Fort Power Plant. The "bandits" came across the Ohio River from Kentucky on boats totaling 15-20 men. They pulled a section of steel rail to derail the train as it came through. When the train (The Kate Jackson) came through, it derailed as the bandits had planned and overturned along with the baggage cars. However the passenger cars stayed upright. Two or three bandits then entered each of the four passenger cars demanding jewelry, money and other valuable items. To hear the rest of the story, please watch the video.
